  1. 2. the minimum speed an object needs to overcome a celestial body's gravitational pull and never fall back, assuming no further propulsion
  2. 3. The reigon of space around a massive object where gravity exerts a force
  3. 4. The attractive force between any two objects
  4. 8. The motion of an object where gravity is the only force acting upon it
  5. 10. The net force directed towards the center of an circular path that keeps an object moving in a curve, constantly changing its direction but not necessarily its speed
  6. 11. Any force that pull two or more objects, particles, or bodies closer together
  7. 12. The measure of the amount of matter in an object or its resistance to acceleration (inertia)
  8. 14. The distance from a central point or origin
Down
  1. 1. Every particle in the universe attracts every other particle with a force directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers
  2. 5. A physical quantity intensity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from its source
  3. 6. the curved path an object takes around another object due to their mutual gravitational attraction
  4. 7. A fundamental physical constant quantifying the strength of gravity, representing the force between two unit masses separated by a unit distance
  5. 9. the fundamental attractive force between any two objects with mass or energy
  6. 13. The measure of the force of gravity in an object
