Physics definitions

Displacement The distance in a straight line in a certain direction from the starting point.

Velocity The speed of something in a given direction.

Acceleration (a): is the rate of change of velocity with time.

Gradient is speed of object.

Distance (d) total length covered by a moving object.

Displacement(s) the distance measured in a specific direction.

Speed is the rate of change of distance with time.

Velocity (v) is the rate of change of displacement with time.

Pressure is the force acting per unit area on a body.

Energy is defined as the capacity to do work.

Density is the mass per unit volume of a substance.

Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. SI unit: kilogram (kg)

Weight is due to the pull of gravity (or, gravitational force of attraction) upon a mass.

Power is the rate of work done or energy converted.

Resistance is the ratio of the potential difference across the component to the current flowing through it.

Average speed The average distance traveled per hour, calculated over the whole journey, excluding specifically ordered halts.
