  1. 2. The distance traveled divided by the time interval during which the motion occurred.
  2. 3. An objects change in position relative to a reference point.
  3. 8. Any quantity that is fully described by a magnitude (or numerical value) alone.
  4. 9. A location to which another location is compared.
  5. 12. A force of attraction between objects that is due to their masses and that decreases as the distance between the objects increases.

  1. 1. Any quantity that possess both magnitude and direction.
  2. 4. The tendency of an object to resist changes in motion.
  3. 5. The speed of an object in a particular direction. So, speed plus direction.
  4. 6. The rate at which velocity changes over time; an object accelerates if its speed, direction, or both change.
  5. 7. A push or a pull on an object that may change the motion or shape of that object.
  6. 10. A force that opposes motion between two surfaces that are in contact.
  7. 11. The SI (International System of Units) unit of force. It is equal to the force that would give a mass of one kilogram an acceleration of one meter per second per second (m/s/s or m/s2).
