Momentum Change in Velocity

Momentum change in velocity, abbreviated as p, determines the change in momentum when the velocity changes but the mass remains constant. 

 

Momentum Change in Velocity formula
\( p = m \left( v_i - v_f \right)   \)
Symbol	English	Metric
\( p \) = momentum	\(lbm-ft\;/\;sec\)	\(kg-m\;/\;s\)
\( m \) = mass	\(lbm\)	\(kg\)
\( v_i \) = initial velocity	\(ft\;/\;sec\)	\(m\;/\;s\)
\( v_f \) = final velocity	\(ft\;/\;sec\)	\(m\;/\;s\)
