mechanics correct answers objects at rest (statics) and objects in motion (dynamics)

velocity correct answers rate at which an object is moving (distance traveled in a specific time
period)

velocity equation correct answers v = distance / time

Newton's First Law correct answers Objects will remain at rest or in a uniform motion in a
straight line unless acted upon by an unbalanced force
