    Motion is defined as a change in an object's position over time. Speed measures an object's change in position per unit of time without regard to direction, while velocity refers to speed and direction of motion. Acceleration is any change to an object's speed or direction of motion, such as speeding up or slowing down. Forces are pushes or pulls that can affect an object's motion, such as drag which slows motion through air or water, or lift and buoyancy which push objects upward when in a fluid.
