motion

?
Acceleration
The amount of which speed increases in one second
1 of 21
Atmospheric Pressure
pressure caused by the collisions of air molecules that produce a force on an area
2 of 21
Average speed
the total distance travelled in the time taken for a complete jouney
3 of 21
Centre of gravity
the point in an object where the force of gravity seems to act
4 of 21
centre of mass
the point in an object where the mass of an object seens to act
5 of 21
compressed
squashed into smaller space.
6 of 21
density
the mass of material in a certain volume
7 of 21
distance-time graph
a graph that shows how far an object moves each second
8 of 21
gas pressure
the force exerted by air particles when they collide with a surface
9 of 21
