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 | \(ft\;/\;sec\) | \(m\;/\;s\) |
