Density

A measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume. It is calculated by dividing the mass of an object by its volume.

Speed

The rate at which an object changes its position over time. It is calculated by dividing the distance traveled by the time taken.

Velocity

The rate at which an object changes its position over time, taking into account both the speed and direction of motion. It is calculated by dividing the displacement by the time taken.

Acceleration

The rate of change of an object's velocity over time. It is calculated by dividing the change in velocity by the time taken.

What is momentum?

Momentum is a measure of the mass in motion. It tells us how much 'oomph' an object possesses. The more mass an object has, the more momentum.
