Impulse-Momentum Calculator

Calculate impulse, momentum change, and average force

Impulse-Momentum Calculator

Apply the impulse-momentum theorem: J = FΔt = Δp = mΔv

Average Force F20.0000 N

Impulse J

20.000 N·s

p₁

0.000 kg·m/s

p₂

20.000 kg·m/s

Formula

J = F · Δt = Δp = m(v₂ − v₁)
p = m · v
