A moment is the turning effect of a force. Moments act about a point in a clockwise or anticlockwise
direction. Moment (M) is measured in newton-metres (Nm) force (F) is measured in newtons (N)
Displacement is a vector quantity that refers to "how far out of place an object is"; it is the object's overall
change in position. While distance is a scalar quantity that refers to "how much ground an object has
covered" during its motion.
v= v = Δs/Δt. (velocity)
Acceleration (a) is the change in velocity (v) over the change in time (t); equation a = Δv/Δt.
v = u + at
s = ut + at²/2
v² = u² + 2as
v² = u² + 2as= final velocity (v) equals the square root of initial velocity (u) squared plus two times
acceleration (a) times displacement (s).
s= displacement;
