Calculation Formula

Momentum (p) = Force (F) × Time (t)

Where:
p = Momentum (kg·m/s)
F = Force (N)
t = Time (s)

Convert force to momentum calculator Calculator Usage Guide

Learn how to use the Convert force to momentum calculator calculator and its working principles

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the force applied to the object in Newtons (N) in the "Force" field.
  2. Enter the time duration over which the force is applied in seconds (s) in the "Time" field.
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the momentum.
  4. The result will be displayed in the "Momentum" field in kg·m/s.

Working Principle

Momentum is a measurement of the amount of motion possessed by an object. It is calculated as the product of force and the time over which the force is applied. The formula used in this calculator is:

p = F × t

Where:

  • p = Momentum (kg·m/s)
  • F = Force (N)
  • t = Time (s)

Example

If a force of 10 N is applied to an object for 5 seconds, the momentum gained by the object would be:

p = 10 N × 5 s = 50 kg·m/s

Applications

This calculator can be used in physics problems, engineering calculations, and everyday scenarios where understanding the relationship between force and momentum is important. It helps in analyzing the motion of objects under the influence of applied forces over specific time intervals.
