Momentum of Ambient Air Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Momentum of Ambient Air = Mass Flow Rate*Flight Speed
M = m_a*V
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Momentum of Ambient Air - (Measured in Kilogram Meter per Second) - Momentum of Ambient Air refers to the linear motion possessed by the surrounding air in its natural state.
Mass Flow Rate - (Measured in Kilogram per Second) - Mass Flow Rate represents the amount of mass passing through a system per unit of time.
Flight Speed - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Flight Speed refers to the velocity at which an aircraft moves through the air.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Mass Flow Rate: 3.5 Kilogram per Second --> 3.5 Kilogram per Second No Conversion Required
Flight Speed: 111 Meter per Second --> 111 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
