- Barycentre [r]: The centre of mass of a body or system of particles, a weighted average where certain forces may be taken to act. [e]
- Brain concussion [r]: A nonspecific term used to describe transient alterations or loss of consciousness following closed head injuries (National Library of Medicine). [e]
- Classical mechanics [r]: The science of mechanics, which is concerned with the set of physical laws governing and mathematically describing the motions of bodies and aggregates of bodies geometrically distributed within a certain boundary under the action of a system of forces. [e]
- Earthquake [r]: Sudden motion or trembling of Earth, which results from shock waves generated by the elastic movement of rock masses deep within the Earth, particularly near boundaries of tectonic plates. [e]
- Electromagnetic wave [r]: a change, periodic in space and time, of an electric field E(r,t) and a magnetic field B(r,t); a stream of electromagnetic waves, referred to as electromagnetic radiation, can be seen as a stream of massless elementary particles, named photons. [e]
- Energy (science) [r]: A measurable physical quantity of a system which can be expressed in joules (the metric unit for a quantity of energy) or other measurement units such as ergs, calories, watt-hours or Btu. [e]
- Force [r]: Vector quantity that tends to produce an acceleration of a body in the direction of its application. [e]
- Free particle [r]: A particle that, in some sense, is not bound but is present in a 'field-free' space. [e]
- Gaussian units [r]: A centimeter-gram-second system of units often used in electrodynamics and special relativity. [e]
- Gravitation [r]: The tendency of objects with mass to accelerate toward each other. [e]
- International System of Units [r]: Metric unit system based on the metre, kilogram, second, ampere, kelvin, mole and candela. [e]
- Kinematics [r]: The quantitative description of the trajectory of a system. [e]
- Mass [r]: The total amount of a substance, or alternatively, the total energy of a substance. [e]
- Momentum [r]: mass of a particle times its velocity (a vector). [e]
- Noether's theorem [r]: A theorem which states that any differentiable symmetry of the action of a physical system has a corresponding conservation law. [e]
- Weight [r]: The force with which a body is attracted to Earth or another celestial body, equal to the product of the object's mass and the acceleration of gravity. [e]
