Acceleration = the rate of change of the velocity of an object with time

- how fast the velocity of an object changes with time

Acceleration = Change in Velocity / Time Taken
- a vector quantity

measured in m/s^2 or ms^(-2)

Mass and Weight

Mass = the mass of an object / body is the amount of matter contained in it. Weight  = -The weight of a body is the force with which the Earth pulls the object towards the centre of the Earth - Weight = Mass * Gravitational Force Gravitational Force of Earth is approximately 10 meters per second squared. SI Unit of Weight is the NEWTON (N)
