Change the Unit of Momentum to the "Beidelman"

Created by S.E. on November 11, 2016

We do not have a proper unit name for momentum, as momentum only has single name for the unit which is kilograms times meters per second (Kg * m/s). We need an actual name for it, so why not the "Beidelman". I believe this will make it easier for high school students or anyone in school to remember the unit for momentum. The measurement for momentum at the moment is tedious to remember and needs a proper name.
