Displacement - the distance travelled from the starting point
Acceleration - the rate of change in velocity
Weight - a force that is caused by gravity
Friction - a resistive force that makes things slippery
Upthrust - the upward force that a liquid or gas exerts on a body floating in it
Tensile force - when it's stretched
Compressive force - pushed together
