Question

The units of momentum are
kg m/s. The units of the area
under the force versus time
curve are N s. Is this a problem?
Explain.

Answer 1

This could be a problem. From Newton's Second Law\[F = {dp \over dt} = {\Delta p \over \Delta t}\]

From unit analysis. \[N = {kg m \over s^2}\]If we multiply Newtons by seconds, we get\[N \cdot s = {kg m \over s} = \rm mass \times velocity = momentum\]
