Rate of change in velocity   If a body increases its speed (the result of a force acting on it) then it is said to have positive acceleration.  
🗑
A device for measuring a current   An ammeter is always connected directly into a circuit in series with the components through which the current is flowing. A good ammeter will have virtually no resistance.  
🗑
The unit for an electrical current   amp or A. 1 amp is equal to a flow of 1 coulomb of charge per second. This translates to the formula, amps = coulombs รท seconds.  
🗑
Maximum displacement   that an oscillation or wave has from its rest position. A measure of the energy contained in the motion or wave, large amplitude sounds are louder; large amplitude light waves are brighter  
🗑
Astronomical unit   (AU) is defined as the average distance between the Earth and the Sun (approximately 148 million kilometers).  
🗑
Layer of gases   that envelops a planet, moon or other celestial body
