The two factors are 1. the mass of the object, and 2. the force exerted on it.
Force and mass. Acceleration is force per unit of mass (a=f/m)
Force and mass.
The force acting upon the object as well as the mass of the object. Both will affect the acceleration of the object.
force=mass*acceleration Therefore acceleration = force/mass This means you can change an objects acceleration in two ways, either by applying a force to the object (for example pushing a shopping trolly). You can also change the acceleration of an object by changing the mass of the object (putting shopping in the shopping trolly)
An object can have only one velocity at any point in time. That velocity can have components in two (or more) directions.If acceleration is constant (but non-zero), then the velocity in any direction other than perpendicular to the direction of the acceleration must change.
If both the mass and the net force on an object are doubled, then the object's acceleration will not change.
Only force can. But there must be a million things that can produce the force, including everything from golf clubs to rocket engines.

Decrease the mass, and change the force.

A change in momentum exists whenever a force acts on an object, and the magnitude of the change is dependent on the mass of the object on which the force acts.
The force acting upon the object as well as the mass of the object. Both will affect the acceleration of the object.
An object moving at a constant speed in a straight line has an acceleration of 0. An object at rest also has an acceleration of 0. So, the two things I see in common are their accelerations, which are both 0.
Only force can. But there must be a million things that can produce the force, including everything from golf clubs to rocket engines.
The velocity does not change direction or magnitude. The object 1) may not be moving, or it 2) may be moving at a constant velocity. In the case of the latter, that means it's moving in the same direction and at a constant speed.
