Impulse From Momentum Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Impulse From Momentum.
I = Mi – Mf
- Where I is the Impulse From Momentum (N-s)
- Mf is the initial momentum (N-s)
- Mi is the final momentum (N-s)
How to Calculate Impulse From Momentum?
The following two example problems outline how to calculate the Impulse From Momentum.
Example Problem #1:
- First, determine the initial momentum (N-s). In this example, the initial momentum (N-s) is given as 30.
- Next, determine the final momentum (N-s). For this problem, the final momentum (N-s) is given as 15.
- Finally, calculate the Impulse From Momentum using the equation above:
I = Mi – Mf
Inserting the values from above and solving the equation:
I = 30 – 15 = 15 (N-s)
Example Problem #2:
Using the same process as above, first define the variables required by the formula. In this case, these values are provided as the following:
initial momentum (N-s) = 30
final momentum (N-s) = 10
Entering these values gives:
I =30 -10 = 20 (N-s)
