Force is defined as mass times acceleration.Momentum is defined as mass times velocity.
Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity.

Is momentum a push or pull?
it is force
What is the impulse of a baseball that is caught?
Impulse is change of momentum, which is force x time over which the force acts. Original momentum = mv, final momentum =0, so impulse is in this case mv.
In order to impart the greatest momentum to an object you should?
In order to impart the greatest momentum to an object, you should both exert the largest force possible upon the object in question and extend that force for as long as possible. This is so because the greater the force acting on an object results in a greater change in velocity, which in turn yields a greater momentum. In addition to exerting the largest force possible on an object, you should also extend that force over the longest period of time as possible, as the sustained force also produces more momentum. As p= m•v, the best method in obtaining the greatest amount for 'p' would be to manipulate either the 'm' or 'v' variables. Force= acceleration= change in velocity= MOMENTUM. Greater amount of time= MOMENTUM
Does exerting a force on an object in motion change its momentum?
Yes
What is the relationship between momentum and inertia?
I guess that momentum is part of the inertia, inertia is composed of momentum as the pages are related to the book. Inertia will be different if it has different kind of momentum. Force will affect momentum so inertia will change.
What is the equation you use to determine for momentum?
The equation is force multiplied by accelaratin
What is the equation for impulse?
Impulse=Force*time=change of momentum
Why is force needed?
Force happens when an object of mass is accelerated, and the equation to calculate force is : force=mass/acceleration
The momentum of an object depends on what two forces?
The amount of momentum that an object has is dependent upon two variables: how much stuff is moving and how fast the stuff is moving. Momentum depends upon the variables mass and velocity. In terms of an equation, the momentum of an object is equal to the mass of the object times the velocity of the object.
What is an impulse in scientific terms?
Impulse is force x time where the assumption is that the force is high and the time is short. Since force is rate of change of momentum of a free body, then impulse amounts to a sudden change of its momentum.
What does the word momentum mean in science terms?
the amount of force it takes to slow down an object.
What is the equation for momentum-avg?
When looking for the equation for momentum-avg always think of math. Always remember that momentum equals Mass times velocity and you will have your answer.
Equation to find momentum?
Momentum is the product of Mass times Velocity Momentum = MV
How do you generate force and momentum?
You can generate force and momentum by applying pressure.
Which is not a force weight air friction resistance momentum?
Momentum is not a force.
How do you solve for momentum?
Momentum, p, is solved by using the momentum equation: p = m*v.
Momentum is to force as angular momentum is to what?
Torque
