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
kilogramsQuickTime™ and a

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

Increases speed as you step on the pedal (gas)

Inertia– First Law Of Motion is an object at rest must remain at rest (has inertia) till an external force is acted upon it an object in motion must remain in motion (inertia) till a force is acted upon it
– An object that is not subject to any outside forces moves at a constant velocity,

Example
Car slammed into a brick 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

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 energy
car traveling at a higher speed will have
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 for take

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