What it calculates

The “Conservation of Momentum” calculator computes Σ p in kg·m/s from 4 parameters: m1, kg, v1, m/s, m2, kg, v2, m/s.

A standard physics formula used in educational and engineering tasks.

Example calculation

With parameters m1, kg = 2, v1, m/s = 5, m2, kg = 3, v2, m/s = -2 the result is 4 kg·m/s.
