The rate of change in speed (or velocity) is measured in metres per second squared. Acceleration= change of velocity ÷ time taken
1 of 8
Deceleration
Slowing down or negative acceleration, eg the car slowed down with a deceleration of 2ms-2
2 of 8
Displacement
Quantity describing the distance from the start of the journey to the end in a straight line with a described direction, eg a hiker ended up at the hostel 50km due north of his original position
3 of 8
Force
A push or pull. The unit of force is the Newton (N)
4 of 8
Magnitude
The magnitude tells us the size of the vector
