speedthe distance traveled by an object divided by the time interval during which the motion occured
velocitythe speed of an object in a particular direction
forcean action exerted on a body in order to change the body's state of rest or motion
displacementthe change in position of an object
kinetic frictionthe force that oposes the moveent of two surfaces that are in contact and are sliding over eah other.
static frictionthe force that resists the initiation of sliding motion etween two surfaces that are in contact and at rest
net forcea single force whose external effects on a rigid body are the same as the effects of several actual forces acting on the body
