How to Calculate and Solve for Mass, Volume and Linear Momentum | The Calculator Encyclopedia

Last Updated on February 18, 2024

To calculate the linear momentum, two essential parameters are needed and these parameters are mass (m) and velocity (v).

The formula for calculating linear momentum:

p = mv

Where;
p = Momentum
m = Mass
v = Velocity

Let’s solve an example;
Find the linear momentum of a mass of 44 and a velocity of 38.

This implies that;
m = Mass = 44
v = Velocity = 38

That is, p = mv
p = 44 x 38
p = 1672

Therefore, the linear momentum is 1672 Kgm/s.

Calculating the Mass when Linear Momentum and Velocity are Given

m = p / v

Where;
m = Mass
p = Momentum
v = Velocity

Let’s solve an example;
Find the mass with a linear momentum of 320 and a velocity of 80.

This implies that;
p = Momentum = 320
v = Velocity = 80

Then, m = p / v
m = 320 / 80
m = 4

Therefore, the mass is 4 kg.

Calculating the Velocity when Linear Momentum and Mass are Given

v = p / m

Where;
v = Velocity
m = Mass
p = Momentum

Let’s solve an example;
Find the velocity with a linear momentum of 280 and a mass of 40.

This implies that;
p = Momentum = 280
v = Velocity = 40

That is, v = p / m
v = 280 / 40
v = 7

Therefore, the velocity is 7 m/s.
