    Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity

    Momentum

    Momentum is defined as the product of mass and velocity

    Impulse The product of force and time is defined as the impulse.

    Explanation:

    From the above explanation, we can see that

    The gravitational pull by the earth is equal to the weight of the object.
    The weight of any object on the planet is given by:

    Weight (W) = m g = Force due to gravity

    Where

    m is mass

    g is acceleration due acceleration of the planet.
