Lets start with mass
Mass is the Amount
of matter that is in
one object
Everyone has mass its
just there
For example a
smart car masses
816 kilograms

The Art Of Velocity
• Velocity is a Vector
measurement of the
rate and direction of
motion, In other words
the rate and direction of
the change in position
of an object

This car is at a constant 80
mph driving in a Race
track without adding more
acceleration
Acceleration
• is measured in
meters per second
squared(m/s2).
• is the change in
velocity as a
function of time
• A car Accelerates
as it speeds up

Inertia
– First Law Of Motion is an
object at rest must remain
at rest (has inertia) till an

it an object in motion must
remain in motion (inertia) till
a force is acted upon it
– An object that is not subject
Example
to any outside forces
moves at a constant

velocity,
wall at 70mph its motion was
stopped to screeching halt
by the external force which in
this case is the wall

Momentum
• The product of an
object’s mass & velocity
P=M
xV
Mass
momentum

Mass of a smart car is at an
estimate of 816kg multiplied
by the velocity of which the
vehicle is traveling equals
he momentum of the car

Kinetic Energy
• The kinetic energy of
an object is the extra
energy which it
possesses due to its
motion.
• An object which has
motion whether it be
vertical or horizontal
motion has kinetic car traveling at a higher speed will have
energy
a greater kinetic energy than it does when traveling at a lower speed

Potential energy
• Potential energy
can be thought of as
energy stored within
a physical system.
This energy can be
released or
converted into other
forms of energy

Energy is stored before let go

Gravity
• Acts upon a object
• can set it in motion
• gravity is pushing down
on the car. If not It
would float
