Momentum Calculator

Science & Engineering

p=mv, impulse and impact force

Quick Answer

Momentum Calculator: p=mv, impulse and impact force. Momentum Calculator uses standard science & engineering formulas to compute accurate results instantly.

Momentum

700.0 kg·m/s

Steps

  1. 1p = m × v = 70 × 10 = 700.0 kg·m/s

Typical momenta

ObjectSpeed (mass)p
子弹 (9mm, 8g)360 m/s2.88 kg·m/s
棒球投手速球44 m/s (160g)7.0 kg·m/s
短跑运动员10 m/s (70kg)700 kg·m/s
小汽车市区14 m/s (1500kg)21,000 kg·m/s
高铁列车83 m/s (450t)3.7×10⁷ kg·m/s

💡 p = mv; total momentum is conserved in ALL collisions (energy is not). Impulse F·Δt = Δp — that's why airbags extend collision time to cut force, and why you bend your knees landing a jump. In perfectly inelastic collisions (objects stick), KE loss is maximal.
