Speed/velocity - ANSWER Displacement per unit time (linear = ft/sec, m/s, or
angular = degrees/sec)
Difference Between Speed and Velocity - ANSWER Velocity contains a
directional component.
Acceleration - Answer The change in velocity per unit time (ft/sec2 or m/s2).
If a=0, then velocity is constant.

Force - Answer (f) = (m)(a) - A push or pull applied to an item or person,
measured in pounds (lbs) or Newtons (N).
F: ANSWER (m)(a)
Weight - ANSWER = (m)(g), where g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s
or 32.2 ft/sec2). Weight is the force of gravity exerted on a mass.
Vectors - Answer Arrows drawn on a force diagram to depict the location,
magnitude, and direction of a force.
Compression - Answer A smashing force generated by at least two pushes.
Tension (tensile force) / Traction - Answer created by forces pulling in opposite
