The following table lists various orders of magnitude for momentum, in Newton seconds (N s).

Table

Factor (N s) Value Item
10−24 2×10−24 N s An electron in a hydrogen atom[1]
100 1 N s A 420 gram football (FIFA specified weight for outdoor size 5) kicked to a speed of 8.6 km/h.
2.6 N s 9x19 mm 7.5 gram pistol round launched at 350 m/s
3.8 N s 5.56 mm (0.223) 4 gram rifle round launched at 945 m/s
5.83 N s A fast baseball pitched in the major league.[2][3]
6 N s The total impulse of a class C model rocket engine, which can be found in amateur fireworks.
6.52 N s Planck momentum, the unit of momentum in the system of Planck units[4]
101 16 N s The momentum of the famous football kick of the Brazilian player Roberto Carlos in the match against France in 1997. The football had a speed of 137 km/h, making it one of the hardest kicks measured.
20 N s The total impulse of a class D model rocket engine, which also can be found in amateur fireworks.
43 N s 12.7x99 mm (0.50 BMG) 50 gram rifle round launched at 860 m/s
95 N s An average person walking at an average walking speed
104 25050 N s A regular small car weighing 1.5 tons crashing at 60 km/h
27000 N s A small car on a city street[5]
43420 N s An SUV weighing 2.6 t (2.6 Mg) crashing at 60 km/h
108 1.1×108 N s A cruising Boeing 747, with passengers and baggage.[6][7]
4.95×108 Apollo 11 launched from earth to orbit
1010 1.63×1010 Space Shuttle launched from earth to orbit
1025 7.52×1025 N s Momentum of the Moon[8][9]
1029 1.78×1029 N s Momentum of the Earth[10][11]
1032 1.215×1032 N s Momentum of the Sun[12][13]
