Displacement (n)
Quickness of motion, speed
Velocity (n)
Relating to the motion of objects
Kinetic (adj)
Showing little or no change, action, or progress
Static (adj)
The force that is measured in perpendicular to the surface of an object
Normal Force (n)
To move faster, to gain speed
Accelerate (v)

Magnetism (n)
The degree to which something is stretched
Tension (n)
A push that follows in the opposite direction of accelerated mass
Thrust (n)
Having only magnitude, not direction.
Scalar (adj)
Having an amount that is directly related or appropriate to someting
Proportional (adj)
To move slower, to lose speed
Decelerate (v)
Negligible
Small amount that has no difference
Assortment

Methodology
Acceleration
the act or process of moving faster or happening more quickly : the act or process of accelerating
Mass
a quantity of matter usually of considerable size.
Fluid
Something that can flow and change it’s shape.
Centripetal Force
A force actings inwards during circular motion
Force
Physical strength, power and effect
Momentum
Amount of motion that the object has
Tangential
(adj.) something that is relating, or along a straight line or plane that touches a curve or curved surface at a point, but if extended does not cross it at that point.
Apogee
Variable
(noun.) a variable is a symbol that indicates another value.
Elastic
(adj.) having the ability to resume back to its normal.
Perigee
buoyancy
the ability of an object to float in water or air
Engineering
the application and capable of desgining something and make something
Machine
The mechanical devises that we advantage works from
Netforce
Netforce is the overall force acting on an object.
Elliptical
a oval shape
weight
It’s an amount of force that pull things down proportional to mass
Gravity
A force thats pulling you towards the center of the earth
Density
how much molecules are stuffed inside
Work done
It’s an amount of work that is done by an object due to the displacement and force applied on an object.
density
the amount of something in a particular space or area
Inertia
Inertia is the tnedency of objects to keep moving in a straight line.
Pressure
force that oppresses something
Mechanics
A science that deals witht kinetic and static forces and their effect on objects
Torque
Torque is the tendency of a force to rotate an object about an axis, fulcrum, or pivot.
surface tension
the force that causes the molecules on the surface of a liquid to be pushed together and form a layer
Centripetal
moving or tending to move toward a center.
Circular motion
Movement of the object rotating around by combining centripetal and centrifugal forces
