Total Momentum Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Total Momentum (p) is:

\[ p = TV \cdot TM \]

Where:

\( p \) is the Total Momentum (m/s*kg)
\( TV \) is the total velocity (m/s)
\( TM \) is the total sum of the masses (kg)

Total Momentum Definition

Total momentum is the product of the total velocity and the total mass of a system. It is a vector quantity that describes the motion of the system and is conserved in isolated systems.

Example Calculation

Let's consider an example:

Total Velocity (TV): 10 m/s
Total Sum of the Masses (TM): 50 kg

Using the formula to calculate the Total Momentum:

\[ p = 10 \cdot 50 = 500 \, \text{m/s*kg} \]

This demonstrates that with a total velocity of 10 m/s and a total mass of 50 kg, the total momentum would be 500 m/s*kg.
