p

[Matlynn Giles 2E]

I am a little bit confused as the what p stands for in this equation and when to use it. Thanks!

[Madeline Louie 1I]

P represents momentum, which can be calculated by multiplying mass and velocity. The unit for mass is kg, and the unit for velocity is m/s.

[Madeline Louie 1I]

To answer the second part of your question, De Broglie said that this equation works for any particle with momentum and measurable mass, but the wave-like properties of objects with large mass is extremely small and often undetectable. This equation is very helpful for finding the wavelength or velocity for particles.

[Katie Le 3K]

P is momentum. On our formula sheet, it says p = (mass)(velocity)

[Ariel Guan 1H]

p is momentum which is (mass)(velocity). Some main equations you should know are p=mv, λ=h/p, and therefore λ=h/mv.

[Gillian Gabrielsen2F]

p=(mass)(velocity), as others have said. Because of mass, you can only use the deBroglie Equation for things that have mass. Therefore, it can't be used for photons since light doesn't have mass, but you can use it for other subatomic particles. So you will use deBroglie if a problem is asking for the wavelength of a particle, or if the wavelength is given and the velocity is being asked for.

p, the momentum, is calculated by mass*velocity. Mass here uses the unit of kg while velocity is in m/s. Use p when DeBrogile and Heisenberg's indeterminacy equation because it can be used to calculate other such as wavelengths.

[Malakai Espinosa 3E]

P is simply the variable we use to represent momentum! It can be broken down as mass*velocity.

[Hailey Kang 2K]

P represent momentum! The equation to find momentum is p=(mass)(velocity).Also remember to convert to SI units!

[Aayushi Jani 3A]

p represents momentum, which can be found by multiplying mass and velocity.

[905290504]

p is momentum which is p = mv (mass times velocity). you want to use debroglie's for the wavelength of anything with rest mass since it is taken into account in the equation

[Kayla Booker 1F]

P represents momentum which is (mass)(velocity). It measures the quantity of motion.

[Chudi Onyedika 3A]

P represents the momentum of an object. It is calculated by multiplying the mass by the velocity. You should only be applied when an object has those two factors.

[Yijia_Yang_3A]

p is momentum, which is given by the multiplication of m and v, mass and velocity, respectively.

[Joshua Swift]

p stands for momentum
p=mv
where m=mass and v=velocity

in Heisenberg uncertainty problems you will sometimes have p
p=mv

[Adam Bustamante 1I]

p stands for momentum and can be written as mv, where m is the mass and v is the velocity

[Heidi Buri 2I]

Hi! P stands for the momentum of the particle. The momentum of the particle can be calculated by the mass multiplied by the mass of the particle multiplied by the velocity (speed of the particle). On the equation sheet, the De Broglie equation is given as λ = h/p. The p equation is also given on the equation sheet as p=mv. The De Broglie equation can be rewritten as λ = h/(mv).

[Lauren Mungo 1K]

p stands for momentum and can be used in the de broglie wave length equation and heisenberg's uncertainty principle.

[Chenning Yang Dis3l]

p is the momentum!

[Britney Tran IJ]

p is momentum or mass*velocity
