A Level PE - Linear Motion

Measured in metres/second and is the rate of change in displacement

Occurs when two or more bodies are in contact with one another

A combination of positive and negative impulses

This occurs when two bodies are in contact with one another

Quantities that have size and direction

Comes from outside the body

Is generated by the skeletal muscles

The quantity of matter the body possesses

A measurement in metres/second of the body's movement per unit of time with no reference to direction

Measured in metres and is the shortest route in a straight line between the starting and finishing position

Measured in m/s² and is the rate of change of velocity

The time is takes a force to be applied to an object or body

The gravitational force exerted on an object

The product of the mass and velocity of an object

Quantities that just have size

Measured in metres and is the path a body takes as it moves from the starting to the finishing position

A force that acts in the opposite direction to the motion of the body travelling through the air
