Least Momentum Calculator

How to Use the Calculator

1. Enter the mass of the object in kilograms (kg).
2. Enter the velocity of the object in meters per second (m/s).
3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the momentum.
4. The result will be displayed in the "Momentum" field.

Working Principle

Momentum is a measurement involving mass in motion, capturing how much force is needed to stop an object or change its motion. The formula for momentum is:

p = m × v

Where:

• p is the momentum (kg·m/s)
• m is the mass of the object (kg)
• v is the velocity of the object (m/s)

Example

If an object with a mass of 5 kg is moving at a velocity of 3 m/s, its momentum would be:

p = 5 kg × 3 m/s = 15 kg·m/s

Applications

Momentum calculations are essential in physics and engineering for understanding the behavior of moving objects. They're used in:

• Collision analysis
• Vehicle safety design
• Sports performance analysis
• Spacecraft propulsion systems
