  • Displacement
    The gap between the initial position & the final position of an object
  • Velocity
    The speed at which something moves in one direction
  • Acceleration
    The time rate of change of the velocity of an object
  • Force
    Push & pull applied to an object<|>An influence that changes the motion of an object<|>The primary cause of all the motion & movements we see every day<|>Force is present even if an object isn't moving
  • Magnitude
    Refers to how strong the force is<|>Is expressed in various ways
  • How magnitude is expressed
    • Newton (Meter-Kilogram-Seconds System (MKS))
    • Dyne (Centimeter-Gram-Second (CGS))
    • Pound (Foot-Pound-Second System (FPS))
  • Direction
    Refers to the points to where the object goes
  • Point of application
    Location where the force is applied
  • Line of action
    Straight line passing through the point of application<|>Is parallel to the direction of the force
