Definition of force
Push or pull that tends to alter the state of motion of a body
Definition of momentum
Quantity of motion possessed by a body
Definition of velocity
The speed of the body in a given direction and is the rate of displacement
Definition of acceleration
Rate of change in velocity
Definition of weight
Gravitational pull that the earth exerts on the body and is measured in Newton’s (N)
