- 1. Force x Distance
- 3. symbol for the rate of change of angular position of a rotating body.
- 5. is a wave in a medium in which each point on the axis of the wave has an associated constant amplitude.
- 9. the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position relative to others, stresses within itself, electric charge, and other factors.
- 13. (vf-vi)/t
- 14. Mass x Acceleration
- 15. National Aeronautics and Space Administration
- 16. the interference of two waves of equal frequency and opposite phase, resulting in their cancellation where the negative displacement of one always coincides with the positive displacement of the other.
- 18. the closest galaxy to the Milky Way
- 20. created laws for circuits such as the point and junction rule

- 2. energy that a body possesses by virtue of being in motion.
- 4. defined as an integer (whole number) multiple of the fundamental frequency
- 6. largest planet in the solar system
- 7. created three fundamental laws of physics
- 8. the program that sent two probes to explore the outer reaches of the solar system
- 10. A wave that oscillates perpendicular to the axis along which the wave travels
- 11. the interference of two or more waves of equal frequency and phase, resulting in their mutual reinforcement and producing a single amplitude equal to the sum of the amplitudes of the individual waves.
- 12. The man who derived F = kx
