How far traveled in any direction measured in meters (m)

How fast traveled in any direction measured in meters per second ($ms^-1$)

The speed at a specific distance measured in meters per second ($ms^-1$)

The speed over a total distance measured in meters per second ($ms^-1$)

Distance in a specific direction measured in meters (m)

Speed in a specific direction measured in meters per second ($ms^-1$)

Change in speed over time measured in meters per second squared ($ms^-2$)

Measurements with magnitude and direction

Measurements with only magnitude

Set of kinematic equations describing motion with constant acceleration

Motion involving two components - vertical and horizontal

Forces acting between objects physically touching

Forces acting at a distance without physical contact

Extension of material is proportional to applied force

Frictional force between an object and a fluid

Buoyancy force experienced by a body in a fluid

Total linear momentum before = total linear momentum after a collision

Impulse is change in momentum of a system

Resultant force is the rate of change of momentum

Momentum is conserved, kinetic energy may not be

Speed of an object moving in a circle

Force required to keep a body in uniform circular motion

Acceleration towards the center of a circle when in motion
