Velocity V = D / T

Speed is how fast something is going.  Velocity is how fast something is changing position in a certain amount of time. Constant Velocity means an objects velocity is not changing. Non- Constant Velocity means the object is Accelerating or decelerating. The Gradient of a distance vs time graph is the velocity. Unit is ms-1

Distance - Time Graphs

Horizontal Line - Stationary Straight Line - Constant Speed (If this is sloping down the object will be returning to the start) Curved line - Accelerating or Decelerating

Acceleration A = V / T

Caption: : Acceleration

Unit for Acceleration is ms-2  The triangle means change in so you take the final speed minus the initial speed The gradient of the speed time graph is the acceleration.

Forces F = M x A

Forces change the speed of an object Net force is the overall force its like the leftover force when everything else is balanced out. Weight is the downward force due to gravity (N) Mass is the amount of matter in an object (kg) Measured in Newtons (N Balanced forces are were all the forces cancel out therefore there is no net force and the object is stationary or moving at a constant speed.Unbalanced forces are when the forces dont balance in a certain direction causing a net force which will mean the object is accelerating.

Mass is the amount of matter in an object whereas the weight is the downward force of an object due to gravity. Mass (m) is measured in kgWeight (w or f) is measured N On earth this downward force is 10N.

Power

Power is how much work is being done per second.The unit for power (P) is Watts (W) or Js-1The unit for power is the same for pressure (P) so don't get caught by this. If something has a high power it means it can do a lot of work in a small amount of time. 

Work

Caption: : Work

Work is done when a force is applied over a certain distance. Work is being done if an energy conversion occurs. The unit for work is in J (Joules).

Pressure

Pressure deals with force over an area. Small areas have high pressure and large area's have low pressure for the same force. Times or divide cm to get to m either by 100 then 10000 or just 100.
