yes that is the correct answer. since momentum is mass times velocity then the units used for mass will be multiplied by the units used for velocity ( Kg * m\s= Kgm\s

That's correct. Momentum is mass times velocity. In SI units, mass is kg and velocity is m/s. That gives momentum units of kg*m/s, sometimes also written kg-m/s. It's somewhat surprising that this unit doesn't have a unique name for itself.
