?
Acceleration
A measure of how quickly the velocity of something is changing. It can be positive if the object is speeding up or negative if the object is slowing down.
1 of 6
Action
In physics, one of a pair of forces. The reaction force acts in the opposite direction and on a different object.
2 of 6
Activity
The number of emissions of ionising radiation from a sample in a given time. This is usually given in Becquerel.
3 of 6
Air Bag
Road safety device in which a bag suddenly inflates with gas to act as a cushion and reduce injury.
4 of 6
Air Resistance
The force opposing the motion of the object moving through the air, sometimes called drag.
5 of 6
Alpha Particles
The largest of the particles that can be emitted as radiation from an unstable nucleus. It consists of two protons and two electrons and is equivalent to a helium-4 nucleus.
