Include SI Units: What is the equation for distance travelled?
Distance travelled (m)= Average speed {m/s}x time {s}
Include SI Units: What is the equation for acceleration?
Acceleration {m/s^2} = (final velocity-initial velocity){m/s}/time {s}

Resultant force {Newtons} = mass {kg} x acceleration {m/s^2}
Include SI Units: What is the equation for weight?
Weight {N} = mass {kg} x gravitational field strength {N/kg}
When two objects interact, the forces they exert on each other are…
… equal and opposite
Include SI Units: What is the equation for momentum?
Momentum {kg m/s} = mass {kg} x velocity {m/s}
What is the concept behind the equation total momentum before = total momentum after?
Conservation of momentum (in a closed system)
What is the equation for force?
Force = change in momentum / time

Stopping distance = thinking distance + braking distance
Include SI Units: What is the equation for kinetic energy?
Kinetic energy (J) = 0.5 x mass (kg) x (speed)^2 {m/s}^2
Include SI Units: What is the equation for change in gravitational potential energy?
Change in gravitational potential energy (J) = mass (kg) x gravitational field strength (N/kg) x change in vertical height (m)
