The starting point you choose to describe the location, or position, of an object

An object's distance and direction from a reference point

The process of changed position

Its a number that has a rate that has magnitude and direction

Its a measurement of distance of an object in movement

The rate of change of an object's position with respect to time, incorporating both speed and direction

Its the difference between position, initial and the final position

Is a measure of the change in velocity during a period of time

Is a push or a pull on an object

Is a push or a pull on one object by another object that is touching it

Newton's second law of motion

States that the acceleration of an object equals the net force on the object divided by the object's mass

A force that resists the sliding motion of two surfaces that are touching

A simple model to understand systems of objects with any amount of applied forces

The sun of all the forces acting on an object

Newton's first law of motion

States that an object in motion will stay in motion, and an object at rest will stay at rest unless acted on by a force

An object's ability to resist and change in motion

When an object applies a force on another object, the second object applies a force of the same strength on the first object, but the force is in the opposite direction

The forces two objects apply to each other

The force that pushes perpendicular to the object's surface

When colliding objects bounce off each other it is an elastic collision

The force that attracts a body toward the center of the earth, or toward any other physical body having mass

an area of open land, especially one planted with crops or pasture, typically bounded by hedges or fences

a body's relative mass or the quantity of matter contained by it, giving rise to a downward force; the heaviness of a person or thing

a push or pull applied to an object by another body without direct physical contact, acting over a distance through fields
