1. What is the Velocity Equation With Mass?

Definition: This calculator determines the velocity of an object using its momentum and mass.

Purpose: It helps physics students and professionals calculate velocity when momentum and mass are known.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

\[ v = \frac{p}{m} \]

Where:

Explanation: Velocity is calculated by dividing the object's momentum by its mass.

3. Importance of Velocity Calculation

Details: Understanding velocity is fundamental in physics for analyzing motion, energy, and dynamics of objects.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the momentum in kg m/s and mass in kg. Both values must be positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is momentum?
A: Momentum is a measurement involving the motion of an object and is the product of its mass and velocity.

Q2: What units should I use?
A: Use kg m/s for momentum and kg for mass to get velocity in m/s.

Q3: Can I use this for relativistic velocities?
A: No, this classical formula is for non-relativistic speeds (much less than the speed of light).

Q4: What if I know velocity and want to find momentum?
A: Rearrange the formula: \( p = m \times v \).

Q5: Does this account for direction?
A: No, this gives speed (magnitude only). For velocity with direction, vector analysis is needed.
