  1. 1. A statement that describes a consistent and universal relationship observed in nature, often expressed through mathematical equations.
  2. 5. The SI unit of force that represents the force required to accelerate a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second squared.
  3. 10. The rate of change of velocity of an object per unit of time, indicating how quickly its speed or direction is changing.
  4. 13. The total path length traveled by an object, measured in units such as meters or kilometers.
  5. 14. The stored energy in an object based on its position or state, such as gravitational potential energy.
  6. 17. A well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that is substantiated through empirical evidence and rigorous testing.
  7. 19. The energy possessed by a moving object due to its motion, dependent on its mass and velocity.
  8. 20. The rate at which an object covers distance, measured as the distance traveled per unit of time.

  1. 1. The principle stating that the total energy within a closed system remains constant over time, with energy changing forms but not being created or destroyed.
  2. 2. A testable and falsifiable statement or prediction that can be investigated to determine its validity.
  3. 3. The size or quantity of a physical quantity, often represented by its numerical value and unit.
  4. 4. The force exerted on an object due to gravity, measured in newtons, and dependent on mass and gravitational acceleration.
  5. 6. The ratio of useful energy output to the total energy input in a system, often expressed as a percentage.
  6. 7. The change in position of an object relative to a reference point, described by distance, displacement, speed, and velocity.
  7. 8. The amount of matter in an object, measured in kilograms, which remains constant regardless of its location.
  8. 9. The change in position of an object from its initial point to its final point, considering direction.
  9. 11. Transformation The conversion of energy from one form to another, such as from potential energy to kinetic energy.
  10. 12. The rate at which an object changes its position in a particular direction, taking into account both speed and direction.
  11. 15. The tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion, either at rest or in uniform motion.
  12. 16. A push or pull applied to an object, resulting in its acceleration or deformation, measured in newtons.
  13. 18. The capacity of an object to do work or transfer heat, measured in joules.
