1
force A force is a push or pull upon an object resulting from the object's interaction with another object. pull A pull is a force that acts in the direction of the origin of the force.
2
motion Motion (physics), any physical movement or change in position or place. gravity Gravity is the force that causes two particles to pull towards each other.
3
position speed The point or area occupied by a physical object
Speed is the rate of motion, or equivalently the rate of change in position, often expressed as distance traveled per unit of time.
4
direction The line or course on which something is moving or is aimed to move or along which something is pointing or facing. mass
