Across
  1. 5. Force: The force of attraction between two objects due to their mass; the strength varies with distance and mass.
  2. 6. Measure of the amount of matter in an object; remains constant regardless of location.
  3. 9. The rate of change of velocity; in gravitational context, it describes how quickly an object speeds up due to gravity.
Down
  1. 1. A condition in which an object experiences no net force acting upon it due to free fall, creating the sensation of zero weight.
  2. 2. A fundamental force of attraction between masses; causes objects to fall toward Earth.
  3. 3. Newton: Influential physicist and mathematician; formulated laws of motion and universal gravitation.
  4. 4. of Universal Gravitation: Newton's principle stating that every mass attracts every other mass with a force proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
  5. 7. Force exerted on an object due to gravity; depends on both mass and gravitational acceleration.
  6. 8. Fall: The motion of an object falling solely under the influence of gravity, with no other forces acting on it.
  7. 10. The path an object follows around another due to gravitational forces; can be elliptical or circular, depending on the velocity and distance.
