Momentum Calculator
A Momentum Calculator is a tool that computes the momentum (p) of an object in motion.
Why Use a Momentum Calculator?
- Helps in physics and engineering to analyze motion.
- Used in collision analysis (elastic & inelastic collisions).
- Important in astronomy, sports science, and vehicle dynamics.
How Does It Work?
Momentum is calculated using the formula:
p = m × vwhere:
- p = momentum (kg·m/s)
- m = mass (kg)
- v = velocity (m/s)
For angular momentum, the formula is:
L = I × ωwhere:
- L = angular momentum (kg·m²/s)
- I = moment of inertia (kg·m²)
- ω = angular velocity (rad/s)
When to Use It?
- In mechanics to study motion and impact forces.
- In sports (e.g., calculating momentum in baseball, soccer, etc.).
- In rocket science (e.g., spacecraft trajectory calculations).
