Momentum is calculated using the formula:

Momentum (p) = Mass (m) × Velocity (v)

Where:

  • Momentum (p) is measured in kilogram meters per second (kg m/s).
  • Mass (m) is the object's mass in kilograms (kg).
  • Velocity (v) is the object's velocity in meters per second (m/s).

To calculate momentum, simply multiply the mass of the object by its velocity. Make sure the units are consistent (both mass and velocity should be in SI units, i.e., kilograms and meters per second, respectively).

Here's an example: Suppose you have an object with a mass of 5 kg and a velocity of 10 m/s. The momentum would be:

Momentum (p) = Mass (m) × Velocity (v) p = 5 kg × 10 m/s p = 50 kg m/s

So, the momentum of the object is 50 kg m/s.
