How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the energy of the particle in Joules in the "Energy (E) in Joules" field.
  2. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the momentum.
  3. The momentum of the particle in kg·m/s will be displayed in the "Momentum (p) in kg·m/s" field.
  4. Click the "Reset" button to clear all input and output fields.

Working Principle

This calculator uses the relativistic formula to convert energy into momentum. The formula used is:

Momentum (p) = sqrt(2 * E / c²)

Where:

  • E is the energy of the particle in Joules.
  • c is the speed of light in a vacuum, approximately 299,792,458 meters per second.

This formula is derived from the principles of special relativity and is accurate for high-energy particles where relativistic effects are significant.
