Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Mass
Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object or particle, a fundamental property in understanding dynamics and general principles.
Symbol: mo
Measurement: WeightUnit: kg
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Initial Velocity of Mass
Initial Velocity of Mass is the velocity at which an object starts moving under the influence of an external force in general dynamics principles.
Symbol: vi

How to Evaluate Initial Momentum?

Initial Momentum evaluator uses Initial Momentum = Mass*Initial Velocity of Mass to evaluate the Initial Momentum, Initial Momentum formula is defined as the product of an object's mass and velocity at the initial stage of motion, providing a measure of the tendency of an object to remain in motion or resist changes to its motion. Initial Momentum is denoted by Pi symbol.

How to evaluate Initial Momentum using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Initial Momentum, enter Mass (mo) & Initial Velocity of Mass (vi) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Initial Momentum
