Therefore, speed is
concerned with distance travelled and time taken. For example, the speed aircraft
might 200miles/h, but its velocity would 200miles/h in, say, west-
erly direction. travel
in motor vehicle know that increase speed would, excluding acci-
dents, allow arrive our destination more quickly. Suppose were travel
a distance 30miles our speed would average 30miles/h:

Definition
Velocity everyday conversation we
often use the word velocity mean
the same speed, and indeed the
units are the same. However, for scientific pur-
poses this not acceptable since velocity also concerned with direction. Originally they were used for
simple purposes, raise water and move objects which man alone
could not lift, but today their principles are fundamental importance to
our scientific understanding mechanics.

Acceleration
When aircraft takes off, starts from rest and increases its velocity until
it can fly. Let now consider some fun-
damental mechanical principles and calculations.
For scientific purposes the weight body not constant, because gravi-
tational force varies from the equator the poles; space body would be
‘weightless’ but here earth under the influence gravity 1kg mass would
have weight approximately 9.
Weight
Weight measure the force which body exerts anything which
supports it.
Mass
Mass measure the amount material substance, such metal,
plastic, wood, brick tissue, which collectively known body. The machines described him were the wedge, the screw,
the wheel and axle, the pulley and the lever.
The feeling speed something with which are all familiar. This change velocity called its acceleration.
Definition
By definition, acceleration the rate of
change velocity with time. The
mass body remains constant and can easily found comparing it
on set balance scales with set standard masses.
In everyday conversation often use the word velocity mean the same
as speed, and indeed the units are the same.

Most modern machines can traced back the five basic machines

is the kilogram (kg).
