Distance is how far an object moves, and does not take into account direction.
is how far away from a starting position an object has travelled, and in which direction; it is a vector. Similarly,
is the speed of an object, taking into account the direction of travel; this is also a vector.
is another vector, and describes the rate at which an object speeds up or slows down.
Newton's laws describe how forces affect motion.
Newton's first law states that if an object has no forces acting on it, it will .
Newton's second law can be stated by the equation .
Newton's third law states that when two objects interact, .
is an object's resistance to acceleration.
Forces are very important when discussing vehicle safety. The distance that a vehicle travels before coming to a stop is called its stopping distance, which is equal to . Thinking distance is the distance travelled by a vehicle before the driver reacts to a hazard or other signal. Braking distance is the distance travelled by a vehicle while its brakes are applied, before it comes to a complete stop.
Thinking distance and reaction time can be affected by factors such as . Braking distance can be affected by factors such as .
Momentum is a property of all moving objects, given by the equation momentum = . Momentum is conserved in all interactions.
The force exerted on an object is related to the momentum of an object by .
is another vector, and describes the rate at which an object speeds up or slows down.
