Momentum Calculator
Calculator Use
Choose a calculation for momentum p, mass m or velocity v. Enter the other two values and the calculator will solve for the third in the selected units. You can also enter scientific notation such as 3.45e22.
Momentum Equation for these Calculations:
Where:
p = momentum
m = mass
v = velocity
The Momentum Calculator uses the formula p=mv, or momentum (p) is equal to mass (m) times velocity (v). The calculator can use any two of the values to calculate the third. Along with values, enter the known units of measure for each and this calculator will convert among units.
