Is acceleration used to calculate momentum?
You may see acceleration mentioned in a momentum problem; but if it's there, it's only purposeis 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.

How is motion and acceleration alike And how are they different?
Motion is the measurement of an object and the change of its position over time. Acceleration is the measurement of velocity of an object. Both terms are used in physics. Acceleration denotes an increase of speed of an object while motion does not.
What is the equation to calculate time?
Distance divided by speed is used to calculate time.
What is the acceleration of an object at rest?
The acceleration of an object due to gravity is 9.6 meters per second. The acceleration does not decrease or increase based on an object's mass.
What equation is used to calculate acceleration from displacement micro meter?
acceration = velocity X time
Which equation can be used to solve for the mass of the object?
Thanks to Isaac Newton's Second Law of Motion, one can determine the mass of an object if he or she knows both the force acting upon the object and the acceleration of the object. Newton's equation is as follows: F = ma; where "F" is the force acting upon the object, "m" is the mass of the object. and "a" is the acceleration of the object. Solving for "m", the equation can be rewritten as: m = F/m. Substitute force for "F", and acceleration for "a", and you can solve for the mass of the object.

What is the equation used to calculate the accerleration of an object?
Change of speed divided by time gives you average acceleration. For example, a change of 30 m/s during 5 seconds gives you 6 meters per second square - this is the average acceleration during those 5 seconds. If acceleration is constant, then this is also the acceleration at any moment during those 5 seconds. For more complicated functions (non-constant acceleration), derivates (a topic in calculus) has to be used. Specifically, the acceleration is the derivative of the velocity.

How can you determine the amount of force exerted?
To find the force on an object, you multiple the mass of the object by its accelerationFor example, let's say a ball is moving at 7 m/s squared and has a mass of12 kg.The formula for force is: F = maF = 12 kg x 7 m/s squaredF = 84 N ( the unit for force is N, which is Newtons)*Be careful, an object does not "have a force". A force is an action that can modify the shape of an object and/or modify its velocity. Therefore, you do not calculate the force of an object, but the force required to give it a certain acceleration.

I used Newton's version of Kepler's third law to calculate Saturn's mass from orbital characteristics of its moon Titan?
Yes, the equation p2 = a3, where p is a planet's orbital period in years and a is the planet's average distance from the Sun in AU. This equation allows us to calculate the mass of a distance object if we can observe another object orbiting it and measure the orbiting object's orbital period and distance.

What is the significance of the slope in the graphs?
This is the first fundemental theorem of Calculus. The slope of a line is very important in your first calculus course. The slope tells you the rate of change. This means how much is the object change in height compared to its change in length. The slope of a line in Calculus is used as the first derivative. If you can take the slope of a line at one particular point you will find the answer to the derivative at this point. Remember this. You first equation on your graph is called your position equation. If you take the derivative of this equation it is called the velocity equation. The velocity equation is how much the position equation is sloping at each point. If you take the derivative of the velocity equation you will get the acceleration equation. The accerelation equation is how much the velocity is sloping at each point. You can take the derivative of the acceleration equation and this will give you the jerk equation. The jerk equation is not used in many applications and I have never used this equation in any of my 4 calculus classes.
