| 5400120240 | Work Energy Theorem | The principle of work and kinetic energy (also known as the work-energy theorem) states that the work done by the sum of all forces acting on a particle equals the change in the kinetic energy of the particle. | 0 | |
| 5400130280 | Potential Energy | The energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position relative to others, stresses within itself, electric charge, and other factors. |  | 1 |
| 6194617407 | Kinetic Energy | Energy that a body possesses by virtue of being in motion. | 2 | |
| 6194624862 | Electron Charge | 1.60 × 10^19 coulombs | 3 | |
| 6194635183 | Proton Mass | 1.67 × 10^27 kilograms | 4 | |
| 6194695203 | λ | Wavelength (lambda) | 5 | |
| 6194711502 | ω | Omega | 6 | |
| 6194721162 | Acceleration due to Earth's Gravity | 9.8 meter/sec | 7 | |
| 6194728586 | Universal Gravitational Constant | 6.67 × 10^-11 | 8 | |
| 6194741985 | Speed of light | 3.0 × 10^8 meter/sec | 9 | |
| 6194751579 | Ω | Ohm | 10 | |
| 6223635644 | Frictional Force | Friction is the force resisting the relative motion of solid surfaces, fluid layers, and material elements sliding against each other | 11 | |
| 6223655225 | Voltage | An electromotive force or potential difference expressed in volts. | 12 | |
| 6223693641 | Watts | The watt unit is named after James Watt, the inventor of the steam engine. One watt is defined as the energy consumption rate of one joule per second. | 13 | |
| 6244014949 | Torque | Torque, moment, or moment of force is the tendency of a force to rotate an object around an axis, fulcrum, or pivot. Just as a force is a push or a pull, a torque can be thought of as a twist to an object. | 14 | |
| 6244022152 | Inertia | A property of matter by which it continues in its existing state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line, unless that state is changed by an external force. | 15 | |
| 6244039399 | Momentum | linear momentum, translational momentum, or simply momentum is the product of the mass and velocity of an object, quantified in kilogram-meters per second. | 16 | |
| 6244097700 | Energy Formula | E = Ek + Ep | 17 | |
| 6244102076 | Spring Formula | F = -kx | 18 | |
| 6244146572 | Kinematics | the branch of mechanics concerned with the motion of objects without reference to the forces that cause the motion. | 19 | |
| 6683498445 | Pico | 10^-12 | 20 | |
| 6683501127 | Nano | 10^-9 | 21 | |
| 6683505836 | Micro | 10^-6 | 22 | |
| 6683508791 | Milli | 10^-3 | 23 | |
| 6683511590 | Centi | 10^2 | 24 | |
| 6683532813 | Conservation of Momentum |  | 25 | |
| 6683557548 | Coulomb's law |  | 26 | |
| 6683601550 | Period (T) | The length or portion of time | 27 | |
| 6683623128 | Current (I) | An electric current is a flow of electric charge. In electric circuits this charge is often carried by moving electrons in a wire. It can also be carried by ions in an electrolyte, or by both ions and electrons such as in a gas (plasma). | 28 |
