Acceleration
change of velocity per second (in metres per second per second, m/s2)
Deceleration
change of velocity per second when an object slows down
Displacement
Distance in a given direction
Gradient
change of the quantity plotted on the y-axis divided by the change of the quantity plotted on the x-axis
Tangent
