How do I calculate the velocity of an object which hits a stationary object if I know the mass of both objects and the distance the stationary object was moved what else must I know to calculate?

You need to know the coefficient of static friction and the coefficient of moving friction for both objects. The solution involves solving a differential equation so the math is non-trivial.

What vector represents the distance and direction of an objects change in position?
velocity
If you know an objects mass and the force acting upon it you can calculate its acellaration but can you also calculate its maximum velocity If so whats the formula for this?
V=at. If you figure out the velocity of an object accelerating at 1 g for a year, you will get a velocity that is almost the speed of light (non-relativistically of course).
What is the product of an objects mass and velocity?
That's the object's "momentum".
What will happen to your kinetic energy if you double its objects velocity?

How do you calculate velocity after perfectly collision?
To calculate the velocity after a perfectly elastic collision, you need to apply the principle of conservation of momentum and kinetic energy. First, find the initial momentum of the system before the collision by adding the momenta of the objects involved. Then, find the final momentum after the collision by equating it to the initial momentum. Next, solve for the final velocities of the objects by dividing the final momentum by their respective masses. Finally, make sure to check if the kinetic energy is conserved by comparing the initial and final kinetic energy values.
What are stationary objects?
Stationary object refers to an object that is not moving
How do you know an objects speed and velocity?
if the objects distance travelled and time is given then speed=distance/time eg- distance travelled 50 mtrs time taken 5 seconds speed 50/5 =10m/s velocity=u(initial velocity 0 for free falling objects) + at(acceleration x time)
Is the greater an objects velocity the stronger the gravitational force on it?
Gravitational forces between objects depend only on their masses and the distance between them. Velocity has no effect.
What vector represents the distance and direction of an objects change in position?
velocity
What do you need in order to know an objects velocity?
You need to know the distance traveled and the time it took to travel that distance.
How do you calculate an objects acceleration?
Acceleration is an object's change in velocity divided by its change in time. So: acceleration=(final velocity - initial velocity)/(final time - initial time)
How do you know something is moving faster than some other object?
Calculate the average velocity for the objects.
Stationary objects are the result of?
0 velocity 0 acceleration The forces on the object are balanced: it is in equilibrium. (The forces are balanced on any object with 0 acceleration, even if it is moving.)
What Is the distance traveled by a moving objects per unit time?
That is called speed or - if the direction is relevant - velocity.
If you know an objects mass and the force acting upon it you can calculate its acellaration but can you also calculate its maximum velocity If so whats the formula for this?
V=at. If you figure out the velocity of an object accelerating at 1 g for a year, you will get a velocity that is almost the speed of light (non-relativistically of course).
What is the distance an objects moves divided by the time it took to move that distance?
This describes the average speed. If there is a direction specified that the distance has moved, then it will be a vector, and called average velocity.
How can friction move stationary objects?
friction can not move stationary objects, it just opposes the relative motion between them.
