Force = Mass x Acceleration (F = ma)
Mass = Force/Acceleration (m = F/a)
Acceleration = Force/Mass (a = F/m)
Mass = Force/Acceleration (m = F/a)
Acceleration = Force/Mass (a = F/m)
Newton's Laws of Motion
1) Objects at rest stay at rest unless acted on by a force.
2) To move a mass, you need a force.
3) For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

DISTANCE -TIME GRAPHS
Reference Point: the starting point you choose to describe the location, or position, of an object.
Position: describes an object's distance and direction from a reference point. Must include: distance, direction, and reference point
Displacement: the difference between the initial, or starting, position and the final position.
Motion: the process of changing position
Speed: the distance an object moves in a unit of time
Average speed: Total Distance/Total Time
Velocity: the speed and direction of a moving object
Acceleration: the measure of the change in velocity during a period of time.
Distance = rate (speed) x time
Time = distance/rate (speed)
Rate (speed) = distance/time
