Momentum Using Kinetic Energy

Momentum is the product of the mass and velocity of an object.

Momentum equals the square root of the product of kinetic energy and twice the mass.

Formula

QuantityVariable["p", "Momentum"] == Sqrt[2]*Sqrt[QuantityVariable["K", "Energy"]*QuantityVariable["m", "Mass"]]

symbol description physical quantity
p momentum "Momentum"
K kinetic energy "Energy"
m mass "Mass"
