acceleration

speed

force

Answer 1

(distance covered) divided by (time to cover the distance) is SPEED.

(straight-line distance and direction between start-point and end-point) is DISPLACEMENT.

(amount and direction of change in speed) divided by (time for the change) is ACCELERATION.

(amount and direction of change in momentum) divided by (time for the change) OR (mass) times (acceleration) is FORCE.
