Momentum Calculator

Calculate linear momentum, the product of mass and velocity. Momentum is conserved in collisions - a fundamental principle of physics.

Momentum Formula

p = m × v

p = momentum (kg·m/s), m = mass (kg), v = velocity (m/s). Momentum is a vector quantity.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is conservation of momentum?
In a closed system, total momentum before = total momentum after a collision. This principle helps analyze crashes and collisions.
Why is momentum important?
Momentum explains why heavy objects at high speeds (trucks) cause more damage than light objects at low speeds.
