100% Correct Answers | Rated A+
Three fundamental properties - ✔✔Mass
Length
Time
Mass - ✔✔the amount of matter or "physical substance" which an object or
group of objects possesses
Length - ✔✔the distance between two points in space
time - ✔✔the period or interval between two events
Unit of mass - ✔✔the kilogram
*on the earth, 1 kg has a weight of 9.8 newtons. this is approximately 2.2 lb.
Unit of length - ✔✔the meter
*1 m is approximately 3.28 ft
1 m = 100 cm
1 km = 1000 m
unit of time - ✔✔the second
*60s = 1 min etc
Speed - ✔✔the rate at which someone or thing is able to move or operate

, V=D/t
equation for speed - ✔✔V=D/t
V=speed
D=distance
t=time
velocity - ✔✔the speed of something in a given direction
3 ways to change velocity - ✔✔1- changing speed
2- changing the direction
3- changing the direction AND speed
acceleration - ✔✔increase in the rate or speed of something; basically how
quickly velocity changes (change in speed, acceleration, direction)
equation for acceleration - ✔✔a=v/t
a=acceleration
v=velocity
t=time interval
Newton's 1st law of motion - ✔✔an object at rest stays at rest and an object in
motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless
acted upon by an unbalanced force
