Document Summary
Acceleration the rate of change of velocity, expressed in metres per second per second (m/s/s or m/s2) (or similar units). Angular motion a form of motion in which all parts of an object do not experience the same displacement. This motion occurs when a point, line or body is rotated in a specified direction and about a specified axis. Base of support (bos) the area of contact between an object and it surroundings where reaction forces can be generated. Centre of mass (com) a point such that if any plane passes through it, the sum of the products of the masses divided by their perpendicular distances from the plane (the sum of the mass moments) is zero. Centre of pressure (cop) the point on a plane surface at which the resultant pressure on the surface may be taken to act. Displacement a vector quantity representing in magnitude and direction the difference in position of two points.
