Imagine you were able to throw a ball in a frictionless environment
such as outer space. Once you let go of the ball, it will travel forever
in a straight line, and at a constant speed. (At least until it bumps into
something.)
A car accelerates down the road. The reaction to the tires pushing
on the road is the road pushing on the tires.

<em>An is formed when an atom loses or gains one or more electrons. Because the number of electrons in an ion is different from the number of protons, an ion does have an overall electric charge. Consider how a positive ion can form from an atom. The left side of the illustration below represents a sodium (Na) atom</em>
Average speed = (total distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)
Total distance covered = (9.5m + 3.5m + 15m) = 28 meters
Time to cover the distance = 43 seconds
Average speed = (28 meters) / (43 seconds)
Average speed = 0.65 meters/second
In physics, power is defined as energy per unit time. You will also hear it described as work per unit time. The standard unit of measure for power is the watt, where a watt is defined as joules (energy) per second (time). This is expressed as a fraction as J/s. If you wanted to increase the power in any operation, you can either increase the energy (more joules) or reduce the time (fewer seconds).
