Acceleration
The change in velocity per second is known as the acceleration of the body

Four advantages of friction?
Advantages of friction:
Friction enables us to walk freely.
It helps to support ladder against wall.
It becomes possible to transfer one form of energy to another.
Objects can be piled up without slipping.
Breaks of vehicles work due to friction.
Weight is a what?
When gravity acts on our mass, we can find our weight, so gravity is a force.
What is mass measured in?
Mass is measured in kilograms, acceleration due to gravity is measured in m/s2, and as weight is a force, it is measured in Newtons.
Force =?
Force = mass x acceleration
Gravity’s number is always?
Gravity’s number is always 10.
