Momentum Calculator
Calculate Linear Momentum
Calculate linear momentum (p = mv) with step-by-step solutions. Momentum is the product of mass and velocity.
Momentum Parameters
kg
m/s
Can be positive or negative (direction)
Formula
p = m × v
where: p = momentum, m = mass, v = velocity
About Momentum
Momentum is a vector quantity representing the motion of an object. It depends on both mass and velocity.
Common Units
- • kg⋅m/s (SI unit)
- • g⋅cm/s
- • N⋅s (Newton-second)
Conservation of Momentum
In a closed system, the total momentum before a collision equals the total momentum after the collision.
p₁ + p₂ = p₁' + p₂'
This principle is fundamental in collision analysis.
Applications
Momentum is used in:
- Collision analysis
- Rocket propulsion
- Sports physics
- Vehicle safety design
- Particle physics
