II. Velocity = Distance divided by time with direction.
III. Speed = distance divided by time with no direction.
IV. Mechanical Advantage = The property where force is multiplied to make work more easy to do.
V. Efficiency = The relationship between work output and work input.
VI. Rolling friction = as an object rolls it slows due to the contact with the opposing surface.
VII. Sliding friction = as an object slides it slows due to contacting with the opposing surface.
VIII. Fluid friction = The friction made when moving through fluid or gases.
IX. Incline plane = A tilted surface which allows loads to be lifted in small increments.
X. Wedge = An incline plane used to split wood or to fit into crevasses.
XI. Wheel & Axis = a simple machine that is a circle rotating around a point.
