Motion
Motion -The action or process of moving or being moved.
Motion diagrams
Motion diagrams -A motion diagram represents the motion of an object by displaying its location at various equally spaced times on the same diagram. Motion diagrams are a description of an object's motion. It shows an object's position and velocity initially and presents several spots in the center of the diagram.
Ticker Tape diagrams
Ticker Tape diagram -The ticker tape diagram will tell you if the object is moving with a constant velocity or accelerating. A changing distance between dots tells you that a change in velocity and also in acceleration. A constant distance between dots represents a constant velocity and therefore no acceleration.
Acceleration Due to Gravity
Acceleration Due to Gravity -The acceleration gained by an object because of gravitational force is called its acceleration due to gravity. Its SI unit is m/s2 . Acceleration due to gravity is a vector, which means it has both a magnitude and a direction.
Force of Gravity
Force of gravity -The force of gravity is the natural force that causes things to fall toward the earth.
Weight
Weight -A body's relative mass or the quantity of matter contained by it, giving rise to a downward force; the heaviness of a person or thing.
Free Body diagrams
Free Body digrams -Free body diagrams are diagrams used to show the relative magnitude and direction of all forces acting upon an object in a given situation.

Newton's First Law
Newton's First Law -An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
Newton's Second Law
Newton's Second Law -The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.
