| Acceleration | acceleration is the rate at which the velocity of an object changes with time. |
| Average speed | The average speed of an object in an interval of time is the distance travelled by the object divided by the duration of the interval;[2] the instantaneous speed is the limit of the average speed as the duration of the time interval approaches zero. |
| Displacement | the shortest path between the final point and initial point of a body. |
| Inertia | resistance of any physical object to any change in its state of motion |
| Mass | a property of a physical body which determines the body's resistance to being accelerated by a force and the strength of its mutual gravitational attraction with other bodies |
| Speed | the magnitude of its velocity |
| Momentum | the mass and velocity of an object. |
| Velocity | the rate of change of the position of an object, equivalent to a specification of its speed and direction of motion |
| Instantaneous speed | the speed of a moving object |
| Law of Conservation Of momentum | a (generalized) linear momentum conservation law holds in electrodynamics, quantum mechanics, quantum field theory, and general relativity. |
