Change in Momentum Calculator:
Enter the values of Final Velocity Vf(m/s) , Initial Velocity Vi(m/s) & Mass m(kg) to determine the value of Change in Momentum dp(kg*m/s).
Change in Momentum Formula:
The Change in Momentum dp(kg*m/s) in kilogram meter per second is equal to the Final Velocity Vf(m/s) in meter per second to subtracted by the Initial Velocity Vi(m/s) in meter per second and then multiply the Mass m(kg) in kilogram.
The Equation of Change in Momentum can be writtern as,
dp(kg*m/s) = ( Vf(m/s) – Vi(m/s) ) * m(kg)
Here,
dp(kg*m/s) = Change in Momentum in kilogram meter per second
Vf(m/s) = Final Velocity in meter per second
Vi(m/s) = Initial Velocity in meter per second
m(kg) = Mass in kilogram
Change in Momentum Calculation:
1)Calculate the Change in Momentum and given for Final Velocity = 70m/s , Initial Velocity = 60m/s , Mass = 12kg.
Answer
dp = ( Vf – Vi ) * m
dp = ( 70 – 60 ) * 12
dp = 120kg*m/s
2)Calculate the Mass and given for Final Velocity = 70m/s , Initial Velocity = 60m/s , Change in Momentum = 120kg*m/s
Answer
dp = ( Vf – Vi ) * m
120 = ( 70 – 60 ) * m
m = 12kg.
