Calculate Change in Momentum





Formula

The formula to calculate the change in momentum is:

\[ \Delta p = (V_f - V_i) \cdot m \]

What is Change in Momentum?

A change in momentum measures the total change in the magnitude of a velocity due to an acceleration. It is a crucial concept in physics for understanding how objects move under various forces.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula to calculate the change in momentum:

\[ \Delta p = (20 - 10) \times 5 = 50 \text{ m/s*kg} \]

The change in momentum is 50 m/s*kg.
