what does speed equal?
distance over time
2 of 22
What is acceleration?
how quickly velocity is changing
3 of 22
What does acceleration equal?
change in velocity over time taken

distance
7 of 22
What is weight?
the strength of gravity
8 of 22
What does weight equal?
mass times gravitational pull

What is terminal velocity?
When an objects accelerating force is equal to the resistant force
11 of 22
What is Newtons first law of motion?
Balanced forces mean no change in velocity
12 of 22
What is Newtons second law of motion?
A resultant force means acceleration
