Scalar | A quantity with only magnitude |
Vector | A quantity with both magnitude and direction |
Speed | The rate of change of distance |
Velocity | The rate of change of displacement |
Acceleration | The rate of change of velocity |
Terminal Velocity | When an object no longer accelerates because its net force = 0 |
Braking Distance | The distance travelled by the car between the time of the brakes being applied and the car stopping |
Thinking Distance | The distance travelled by the car in the time taken for the driver to react. |
Stopping Distance | Braking Distance + Thinking Distance |
The Newton | The force required to accelerate a mass of 1kg to 1ms-2 |
Principle of Moment | Clockwise moment = Anticlockwise moment |
Equilibrium | Net force acting on the object must be zero, net moment about any point must also be zero |
Centre of Gravity | The point where an object’s entire weight appears to act |

Hooke's Law | The extension of a spring is directly proportional to the force applied to it (within the elastic region) |
Elastic Limit | The point after which a material does not return to its original form when stress is removed |
Plastic Deformation | When the material does not return to its original length/shape/size |
Brittle Material | Does not have a plastic region, breaks at elastic limit |
Ultimate Tensile Strength | force ×distance moved in direction of force |
The Joule | The work done moving 1N through 1m in the direction of the force |
Power | The rate at which work is done. |
The Watt | The transfer of energy of one joule per second |
Principle of Conservation of Energy | In a closed system energy cannot be created or destroyed |
Special Theory of a Relativity | The mass of an object increases as it approaches the speed of light |
