Physics Definitions

the determination of the size or magnitude of something

the metric system that is used universally as a standard for measurements

An object at rest remains at rest, and an object in motion remains in motion at constant speed and in a straight line unless acted on by an unbalanced force

the acceleration of an object is directly related to the net force and inversely related to its mass

for every action (force) in nature there is an equal and opposite reaction

measures the length between objects or points without regard for direction

the location of something relative to something else

The rate of change of position of an object in any direction

quantity that designates how fast and in what direction a point is moving

the rate of change of velocity over a designated distance

any motion of a body where gravity is the only force acting upon it

the measure of a change in a physical quantity or a magnitude used to quantify the duration of events
