You may see acceleration mentioned in a momentum problem; but if it's there, it's only purpose
is to help you find the object's velocity.

All you need to know in order to find momentum is the object's mass and velocity.

Mass X Acceleration is used to calculate what?

Force----------------------------------------------The above is correct Force = mass * accelerationbut note that momentum = mass * velocity


Is it true that to calculate acceleraltion you need to know both the final and the initial velocity of an object?

No. That's only one of several possibilities. -- with initial velocity, distance, and time, you can calculate acceleration -- with final velocity, distance, and time, you can calculate acceleration -- with force and mass, you can calculate acceleration -- with initial and final momentum, you can calculate acceleration -- with initial and final kinetic energy, you can calculate acceleration -- with mass, velocity at either end, and kinetic energy at the other end, you can calculate acceleration And I'm sure there are several more that I've missed.


Does the vacuum have an acceleration and momentum?

no just acceleration


Why is force needed?

Force happens when an object of mass is accelerated, and the equation to calculate force is : force=mass/acceleration


Which is not part of the equation for angular momentum?

acceleration


What does acceleration do to an object?

increases its velocity and momentum


What factors affect momentum?

force and acceleration


Is angular momentum always parallel to angular acceleration?

momentum is product of moment of inertia and angular velocity. There is always a 90 degree phase difference between velocity and acceleration vector in circular motion therefore angular momentum and acceleration can never be parallel


What is one similarity to speed velocity acceleration?

Speed, velocity, and acceleration all have momentum.


Which is not conserved mass acceleration energy momentum?

Acceleration is not conserved. Energy can not be created nor destroyed. Mass and momentum are both conserved through a set time.


Commonly used vectors incude?

Position, velocity, acceleration, force, momentum, electric field, magnetic field.
