## Less Than 1 kg·m/s

Factor (kg·m/s) | Value (kg·m/s) | Item

|
|

10−24 | 2×10−24 | An electron in a hydrogen atom[1]
10−3 | 0.00912  | A garden snail at its top speed[2]

## 1 kg·m/s to 100 kg·m/s

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.[3][4]
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[note 1]
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

104 | 25050  | A regular small car weighing 1.5 tons crashing at 60 km/h
27000  | A small car on a city street[6]
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.[7][8]
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[9][10]
