distance (m) = speed (m/s) x time (s)
Velocity is speed with a direction e.g. 10m/s Northwards
Acceleration (m/s2) = change in speed (m/s) / time taken (s)
Acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time taken (s) or a = v-u/t
Balanced forces = constant velocity (this can be stationary)
Unbalanced forces (resultant) = change in velocity (+ve / –ve)
Every action force has an equal and opposite reaction force
Force (N) = mass (kg) x acceleration (m/s2)
The difference between opposite forces = resultant force. An object will accelerate / decelerate according to its size
