Calculate the linear momentum of a moving object using p = mv. Determine the quantity of motion for any object given its mass and velocity.
Enter your values below
Mass of the object
Velocity of the object (can be negative for direction)
How this calculator works
Linear momentum equals mass times velocity. Momentum is a vector quantity that has both magnitude and direction, always in the direction of the velocity.
