the number of waves that pass a fixed point in unit time; also, the number of cycles or vibrations undergone during one unit of time by a body in periodic motion

altitude, elevation mean vertical distance either between the top and bottom of something or between a base and something above it; refers to something measured vertically whether high or low.

• power

• height

• mass

• density

quantifies the overall effect of a force acting over time

• force

• radius

• impulse

• energy

energy which a body possesses by virtue of being in motion.

• potential energy

• kinetic energy

• mechanical energy

• solar energy

characteristic of a spring which is defined as the ratio of the force affecting the spring to the displacement caused by it.

• spring constant

• ideal spring

• restoring force

• normal force

measurement of mass in motion: how much mass is in how much motion

• acceleration

• momentum

• length

• mass

the measurement or extent of something from end to end; the greater of two or the greatest of three dimensions of a body.

• mass

• weight

• width

• length

expresses the position of an object from the origin of a coordinate system; the vector of a point drawn from an origin to the point

• impulse

• position vector

• inertial vectors

• coefficient of friction
