carrying capacity | the number or quantity of people or things that can be conveyed or held by a vehicle or container. |

acceleration | a vehicle's capacity to gain speed within a short time. |
displacement | the moving of something from its place or position. |
speed (distance x time) | To solve for speed or rate use the formula for speed |
mass | Mass is both a property of a physical body and a measure of its resistance to acceleration |
inertia | a tendency to do nothing or to remain unchanged. |
average speed | The average speed of an object is the total distance traveled by the object divided by the elapsed time to cover that distance. |
momentum | the quantity of motion of a moving body, measured as a product of its mass and velocity. |
velocity | the speed of something in a given direction. |
newton's 3 laws | Newton's three laws of motion may be stated as follows: Every object in a state of uniform motion will remain in that state of motion unless an external force acts on it. Force equals mass times acceleration |
