Answer

The SI unit of impulse is the same as the SI unit of momentum.

Work Step by Step

The units of impulse are: $N~s$ The units of momentum are: $\frac{kg~m}{s}$ We can verify that these are equivalent: $N~s = (\frac{kg~m}{s^2})~(s) = \frac{kg~m}{s}$ The SI unit of impulse is the same as the SI unit of momentum.
