Physics Crossword Puzzle

6. Net force equals mass times acceleration, determining how motion changes.
7. A push or pull acting upon an object, resulting from its interaction with another object.
12. The speed of an object in a specific direction.
13. Stored energy based on an object's position or state (e.g., gravitational, chemical).
15. A force that resists the relative motion of two surfaces in contact.
16. The sum of all forces acting on an object.

1. The rate at which an object's velocity changes over time (speeding up or slowing down).
2. Energy possessed by an object due to its motion.
3. The combining of two smaller atomic nuclei to form a larger one, releasing energy.
4. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
5. The study of the behavior of matter and energy at high speeds and high gravitational fields.
8. The law that objects continue their state of motion (or rest) unless acted upon by an external force.
9. The product of an object's mass and its velocity, representing its "quantity of motion".
10. The process of splitting an atomic nucleus into smaller parts, releasing energy.
11. The straight-line distance and direction an object moves from its starting point.
14. The force of attraction between all masses in the universe.
