A fixed amount of something, like a centimenter (cm) of distance.

• unit

• accuracy

• precision

• force

The acceleration in free fall at Earth's surface, usually represented by the small letter g.

• acceleration due to gravity

• velocity

• kinetic energy

• accuracy

The rate at which velocity changes.
