Solar prominences can be viewed as pre-eruptive states of coronal mass ejections (CMEs). Eruptive prominences are the phenomena most related to CMEs observed in the lower layers of the solar atmosphere. We have made a comprehensive statistical study on the CMEs associated with prominence eruptions. We have examined the distribution of CMEs speed and acceleration for prominence eruptions associated CMEs. We also examine the speed-acceleration correlation for these events and there is no correlation between speed and acceleration. The mean angular width is almost similar to normal CMEs. The number variation during solar cycle of prominence activities is similar to the sunspot cycle.
