The dimensional equivalence of the quantity "momentum" in terms of the fundamental quantities (mass,length,time)is: A)MLT−¹. B)ML²T−². C)MLT. D)MLT−².

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Momentum is defined as the product of mass and velocity. The dimensional formula for mass is M, and for velocity (which is length per time) is LT^-1. Therefore, the dimensional formula for momentum is MLT^-1.
