Momentum

Calculate linear momentum from mass and velocity.

How this calculator works

Enter the values for value, rate (%) and review the units before calculating.

Formula / method

p = m × v

Worked example

A 5 kg object moving at 12 m/s has 60 kg·m/s momentum.

Assumptions and limitations

The speed is low enough for classical momentum rather than relativistic momentum.

Direction is represented only by the sign of velocity in this scalar interface.
