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

Table

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