Momentum converter

This linear momentum converter turns a numeric momentum magnitude from one common physics or engineering unit into another and returns the converted value with canonical unit labels.

Supported units are kilogram metres per second, gram centimetres per second, and pound feet per second, plus everyday aliases such as kg·m/s, kg m/s, g·cm/s, lb·ft/s, newton seconds, and pound feet per second. Conversion always bridges through the SI unit kilogram metres per second using fixed exact factors, so the same input always yields the same result with no network calls, no sampling, and no date-dependent shortcuts. Typical checks include ten kilogram metres per second to gram centimetres per second, half a kilogram metre per second from fifty thousand gram centimetres per second, and imperial laboratory values expressed in pound feet per second. Use it free in the browser for homework, lab reports, and collision worksheets, or call the API at $0.002 per successful request when you need reproducible momentum fixtures in CI, simulation pipelines, or product catalogs.

How to use it

Enter your values in the form above. The tool checks them before calculating and shows the result on the same page.

Check your inputs

Use the labels and units shown next to each field. If something is missing or outside the allowed range, the page points to the field to fix.

Use it again or automate it

Use the browser tool for individual checks and the API when you need the same capability in an automated workflow.

What you can do with it

Get an answer now

Enter one set of values and see the result without building a spreadsheet or script.

Compare scenarios

Change one value at a time and rerun the calculation to understand what affects the result.

Automate repeated work

Use the API when the same calculation needs to run inside your product or workflow.

For developers — API access

Everything on this page is available programmatically. This section is for teams who want to wire it into their own systems; everyone else can just use the tool above.

API endpoint

POSThttps://api.kit.forhosting.com/conv/momentum

Prefer to automate it? One authenticated POST creates the task; the result comes back by webhook or a signed link. The same capability also runs here on the web, by email and from Telegram — and soon from our app too.

Call it from your stack

curl -X POST https://api.kit.forhosting.com/conv/momentum \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $KIT_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"value":10,"from":"kg_m_s","to":"g_cm_s"}'

const res = await fetch("https://api.kit.forhosting.com/conv/momentum", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    "Authorization": `Bearer ${process.env.KIT_KEY}`,
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    "value": 10,
    "from": "kg_m_s",
    "to": "g_cm_s"
  })
});
const { task_id } = await res.json();

import os, requests

res = requests.post(
    "https://api.kit.forhosting.com/conv/momentum",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['KIT_KEY']}"},
    json={
    "value": 10,
    "from": "kg_m_s",
    "to": "g_cm_s"
},
)
task_id = res.json()["task_id"]

<?php
$res = file_get_contents("https://api.kit.forhosting.com/conv/momentum", false, stream_context_create([
  "http" => [
    "method"  => "POST",
    "header"  => "Authorization: Bearer " . getenv("KIT_KEY") . "\r\nContent-Type: application/json",
    "content" => '{"value":10,"from":"kg_m_s","to":"g_cm_s"}',
  ],
]));
$task = json_decode($res, true);

body := bytes.NewBufferString(`{"value":10,"from":"kg_m_s","to":"g_cm_s"}`)
req, _ := http.NewRequest("POST", "https://api.kit.forhosting.com/conv/momentum", body)
req.Header.Set("Authorization", "Bearer "+os.Getenv("KIT_KEY"))
req.Header.Set("Content-Type", "application/json")
res, _ := http.DefaultClient.Do(req)

Example request

{
  "value": 10,
  "from": "kg_m_s",
  "to": "g_cm_s"
}

Example response

{
  "task_id": "tsk_a1b2c3d4e5f6a1b2c3d4e5f6",
  "type": "conv.momentum",
  "status": "queued",
  "_links": {
    "result": "/tasks/tsk_…/result"
  }
}

The API is asynchronous: the call returns a task_id immediately and the result arrives by webhook. Polling is capped at 1 req/s per task.

Pricing

Errors

HTTP	Code	Meaning
`401`	`unauthorized`	Missing or invalid API key.
`402`	`insufficient_balance`	Your balance doesn't cover the task price.
`404`	`unknown_type`	That task type doesn't exist.
`429`	`rate_limited`	Too many requests. Use the webhook instead of polling.
