Physics Crossword
Across
- 1. The total length of the path an object travels, regardless of direction.
- 4. An astronomical body that is the third planet from the Sun, notable for its unique ability to harbor life, a liquid water surface, and a dynamic atmosphere and solid structure.
- 6. The behavior of an object or a collision where kinetic energy is not conserved.
- 7. The ability of a material to resist a distorting influence (like stretching or compressing) and return to its original size and shape once that influence or external force is removed.
- 10. Is a vector quantity that describes the rate of change of an object's displacement.
- 12. The rate at which an object changes its position, calculated as the total distance traveled divided by the total time taken.
- 14. Is a propagating disturbance or oscillation that transfers energy from one point to another, without transferring matter.
- 16. Is a vector quantity that represents the change in an object's momentum, calculated as the product of the average force acting on an object and the duration of time the force acts, or equivalently, the object's change in momentum.
- 19. Is an event where two or more objects exert forces on each other for a brief period, leading to a rapid exchange of momentum and possibly energy.
- 20. The standard international unit of time.
Down
- 2. Is a quantitative measure of the average kinetic energy of the microscopic particles (atoms or molecules) within a substance or system.
- 3. Is the universal, attractive force that exists between any two objects possessing mass or energy.
- 5. Is the time it takes for a repeating motion to complete one full cycle.
- 8. Is the rate at which an object's velocity changes over time.
- 9. Is defined as a fundamental quantity that measures the duration of events and the interval between them, often by what a clock reads.
- 11. A scalar quantity that represents the amount of matter in an object.
- 13. The branch of science concerned with the nature and properties of matter and energy. The subject matter of physics includes mechanics, heat, light and other radiation, sound, electricity, magnetism, and the structure of atoms.
- 15. Is the international System of Units unit of force.
- 17. momentum Is the product of an object's mass and its velocity, representing "mass in motion".
- 18. The base unit of mass in the International System of Units.
