Momentum and Impulse Calculator
Find momentum from p = mv, impulse from force and time, and what happens when two objects collide. Collisions can be elastic or perfectly inelastic, and the kinetic energy before and after is shown.
What you can do
- Momentum, mass or velocity from p = mv
- Impulse from force and time, or from a change in velocity
- Average force during a collision
- Elastic collisions: both final velocities
- Perfectly inelastic collisions: shared velocity and energy lost
- Before and after diagram of each collision
- Negative velocities for motion the other way
