  2. Named unit for momentum - Physics Forums

    www.physicsforums.com/threads/named-unit-for-momentum.1066439

    Got an email today proposing naming the unit of momentum for Emmy Noether. It would be either the noether or the emmynoether: some people feel it is important to emphasize her gender. My understanding is it would not be SI, but US-only. Rereading the enail, it might not even be MKSA; I suppose...

  3. How to get the units of momentum flux? - Physics Forums

    www.physicsforums.com/threads/how-to-get-the-units-of-momentum-flux.929627

    The standard unit of momentum flux in the International System of Units (SI) is the Newton per square meter (N/m²). Here's how the units for momentum flux are derived: Momentum (p) has units of kilogram meters per second (kg·m/s). Area (A) has units of square meters (m²). Therefore, the units of momentum flux (Φ) are:

  4. Momentum per unit area per unit time in EM - Physics Forums

    www.physicsforums.com/threads/momentum-per-unit-area-per-unit-time-in-em.699416

    Yes, momentum per unit area per unit time in EM radiation can be measured using various techniques such as optical tweezers, radiation pressure experiments, and laser doppler velocimetry. These methods allow for the detection and measurement of the force exerted by EM radiation on a surface.

  5. Momentum: What Does "15 GeV/c" Mean? - Physics Forums

    www.physicsforums.com/threads/momentum-what-does-15-gev-c-mean.772743

    In particle physics, momentum is often expressed in units of gigaelectronvolts per speed of light (GeV/c), which is a unit of energy divided by the speed of light. This unit is used because it is more convenient for describing the high speeds at which particles travel in particle accelerators.

  6. Unit for Momentum: kg·m/s & kg·m/s² - Physics Forums

    www.physicsforums.com/threads/unit-for-momentum-kg-m-s-kg-m-s.191493

    Momentum is a measure of an object's motion, while force is a measure of the interaction between two objects. Momentum is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction, while force is a scalar quantity with only magnitude. What is the unit for momentum? The unit for momentum is kg·m/s or kilogram meters per second.

  7. Unit of Momentum | What is the Unit of Momentum? - Physics Forums

    www.physicsforums.com/threads/unit-of-momentum-what-is-the-unit-of-momentum.158426

    Momentum is a measure of an object's motion and is defined as the product of its mass and velocity. 2. What is the unit of momentum? The unit of momentum is kilogram meters per second (kg * m/s) in the International System of Units (SI). 3. What is the difference between momentum and velocity? Momentum and velocity are related but different ...

  8. Understanding the Units in Relativistic Momentum Calculations

    www.physicsforums.com/threads/understanding-the-units-in-relativistic-momentum...

    Relativistic momentum is a concept in physics that takes into account the effects of special relativity on the momentum of an object moving at high speeds. It is calculated using the equation p = mv/√(1-v^2/c^2), where p is the relativistic momentum, m is the mass of the object, v is its velocity, and c is the speed of light.

  9. What Is the Unit Vector in the Block's Momentum After a Kick?

    www.physicsforums.com/threads/what-is-the-unit-vector-in-the-blocks-momentum...

    What is a unit vector of blocks momentum? A unit vector of blocks momentum is a vector that represents the momentum of a system of blocks, where each block is treated as a point mass. It is a normalized vector with a magnitude of 1, and its direction represents the direction of the momentum. How is the unit vector of blocks momentum calculated ...

  10. Change in Momentum, Impulse, and Wall Impulse - Physics Forums

    www.physicsforums.com/threads/change-in-momentum-impulse-and-wall-impulse.289034

    A unit-vector momentum is a vector quantity that represents the motion of an object. It is defined as the product of an object's mass and its velocity, and is typically represented by the symbol p. 2. How is unit-vector momentum calculated? The unit-vector momentum of an object can be calculated by multiplying the object's mass by its velocity.
