The units for momentum are
A
kg
B
m/s
C
kg-m/s
D
kg/m/s
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The kilogram-meter per second (kg · m/s or kg · m · s-1 ) is the standard unit of momentum . Reduced to base units in the International System of Units ( SI ), a kilogram-meter per second is the equivalent of a newton-second (N · s), which is the SI unit of impulse.

Detailed explanation-2: -The unit of momentum is the product of the units of mass and velocity. In SI units, if the mass is in kilograms and the velocity is in meters per second then the momentum is in kilogram meters per second (kgm/s).

Detailed explanation-3: -Definition. A newton is defined as 1 kg⋅m/s2 (it is a derived unit which is defined in terms of the SI base units). One newton is therefore the force needed to accelerate one kilogram of mass at the rate of one metre per second squared in the direction of the applied force.

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: Momentum uses kilograms in its units. Momentum is a physical quantity which gives a measure of how much motion an object has. It is a product of the mass of an object and its speed and its units are kilogram meters per second (kg.
