Across
- 3. Field of study in which Newton made significant contributions, such as his theory of light and the color spectrum.
- 6. Amount of matter in an object, important in Newton's second law, where it appears in the formula F = ma.
- 8. Principle described in Newton's first law, stating that objects tend to remain in their state of motion or rest.
- 10. Object used by Newton in his optical experiments to decompose white light into its spectrum of colors.
Down
- 1. Concept addressed in Newton's second law, describing how the force applied to an object determines its change in velocity.
- 2. Principle of Newton's third law, stating that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
- 4. Mathematical tool developed by Newton and Leibniz, essential for understanding change and motion.
- 5. Fundamental concept addressed by Newton's laws of motion.
- 7. Force described by Newton in his theory of universal gravitation.
