Calculate Initial Momentum





Formula

The formula to calculate the Initial Momentum (pi) is:

\[ pi = (Vf - dV) \times m \]

Where:

What are the units for Initial Momentum?

The most common units for Initial Momentum are m/s*kg. Initial momentum is a vector quantity that represents the product of an object's mass and its velocity at the start of a given period.

Example Calculation

Consider an example where:

Using the formula to calculate the Initial Momentum:

\[ pi = (20 - 5) \times 10 = 15 \times 10 = 150 \text{ m/s*kg} \]

This means that the initial momentum for this example is 150 m/s*kg.
