Physicsdefinitions: Speed Velocity Acceleration Electromagnetic Induction

This document defines key physics terms related to speed, velocity, acceleration, waves, energy, and density. It explains that speed is distance over time, velocity is the rate of change of displacement, and acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. It also defines other wave properties like amplitude, wavelength, frequency, and period. Finally, it outlines different types of energy and defines inertia, work, refraction, and density.
