Acceleration is a change in velocity over a certain time period.Vectors are quantities that are completely described by both direction and a magnitude and a Scalar is only fully described by a Magnitude such as a numerical value.Speed is the amount of distance an object covers in an specific amount of time. Speed can be found when you divide the distance traveled by time.A force is a sudden push or pull that results from another object.Potential energy is stored energy of placement possessed by a certain object.

S&EP Analyzing & Interpreting Data: In class we did an experiment which involved us using Hot Wheels and some Tracks, this experiment helped us see the different types of changes in velocity and acceleration, we would compare the data to how it would fit into newtons laws. We would time the car as it went down the ramp that my team created, then we would calculate the velocity , speed , and acceleration, and we saw how it related to newtons laws of motion.
