force
To change an object's velocity, you need to apply a force to it. The force will cause the object to accelerate, thus changing its velocity. The magnitude and direction of the force will determine the extent and direction of the velocity change.
To need force
To determine the change in an object's momentum, you need to know the initial momentum of the object (mass x initial velocity) and the final momentum of the object (mass x final velocity). The change in momentum is equal to the final momentum minus the initial momentum.

No. Velocity is the combination of a speed and its direction. In order fortwo objects to have the same velocity, they must be moving at the samespeed, and in the same direction.
Newton's laws of motion apply here: things only change velocity when a force is acting upon them. While objects that are moving have (potential) kinetic energy, no extra energy is required to keep them moving: energy would be required to change their motion.
To find an object's acceleration, you need its initial velocity, final velocity, and the time it takes to change from the initial velocity to the final velocity. The formula for acceleration is (final velocity - initial velocity) / time elapsed.
False. A body traveling at constant speed does not change its velocity, which includes both speed and direction. Therefore, in order to change direction, the body would need to change its velocity, which also involves changing its speed.
The mass of the object.
You cannot directly obtain velocity using only mass and displacement. Velocity is calculated by dividing the change in displacement by the change in time. In order to determine velocity, you would need to know the time it takes for an object to travel a certain distance.
