System Momentum Formula
The following equation is used to calculate the System Momentum.
pS = mS * VS
- Where pS is the System Momentum (m/s*kg)
- mS is the system mass (kg)
- VS is the system velocity (m/s)
To calculate the system momentum, multiply the systems mass by the system velocity.
What are the units for System Momentum?
The most common units for System Momentum are m/s*kg.
How to Calculate System Momentum?
Example Problem:
The following example problem outlines the steps and information needed to calculate the System Momentum.
First, determine the system mass. In this example, the system mass is determined to be 9 (kg).
Next, determine the system velocity. For this problem, the system velocity is measured to be 5 (m/s).
Finally, calculate the System Momentum using the formula above:
pS = mS * VS
Inserting the values from above and solving the equation with the imputed values gives:
pS = 5 * 9 = 45 (m/s*kg)
