Average Speed

• Total distance covered in a given amount of time.

• Total time taken to cover a distance.

• The speed of an object at a specific moment.

• The average speed of all objects in motion.

Net Force: When forces are in the same direction

• 
• The net force is the sum of the forces.

• The net force is the difference between the forces.

• The net force is always negative.

Formula for Velocity

• v = distance / time

• v = displacement / time

• v = speed / distance

• v = acceleration / time

Acceleration

• 
• Force applied to an object

• Mass of an object

• Distance traveled over time
