Momentum

The Momentum calculator computes the linear momentum as a function of mass (m) and velocity (v).

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:

• (m) This is the mass
• (v ) This is the velocity

Momentum (p): The calculator returns the momentum (p) in kilogram-meters per second (kg•m/s).

The Math / Science

The formula  for momentum is as follows:

        p = m • v 

where:

• p is the momentum
• m is the mass
• v is the velocity
