Falling Momentum Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Falling Momentum is:

\[ p = \sqrt{2 \cdot g \cdot H} \cdot m \]

Where:

\(p\) is the Falling Momentum (kg*m/s)
\(H\) is the total height of the fall (m)
\(m\) is the mass of the object (kg)
\(g\) is the acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s²)

What are the units for Falling Momentum?

The most common units for Falling Momentum are kg*m/s. Falling momentum is a measure of the motion of an object as it falls, considering both its mass and the speed it gains due to gravity.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Total Height of the Fall (H) = 10 m
Mass of the Object (m) = 5 kg

Using the formula:

\[ p = \sqrt{2 \cdot 9.81 \cdot 10} \cdot 5 = 70.04 \, \text{kg*m/s} \]

The Falling Momentum is 70.04 kg*m/s.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Total Height of the Fall (H) = 15 m
Mass of the Object (m) = 8 kg

Using the formula:

\[ p = \sqrt{2 \cdot 9.81 \cdot 15} \cdot 8 = 137.24 \, \text{kg*m/s} \]

The Falling Momentum is 137.24 kg*m/s.
