1. A physical quantity that has only magnitude and no direction.
7. The energy transferred to or from an object via the application of force along a displacement.
10. A mathematical operation representing the instantaneous rate of change of a function.
13. A vector quantity representing the change in position from an initial to a final location.
14. A force between two surfaces in contact that opposes relative motion or the tendency toward motion.
16. The standard unit of angular measure used in rotational kinematics and dynamics.
18. INERTIA A measure of an object's resistance to changes in its angular velocity, also known as the moment of inertia.
19. The state in which both the net force and the net torque acting on a system are zero.

2. The rate of change of an object's velocity with respect to time.
3. Energy stored within a system due to the configuration or position of its parts, such as gravity or springs.
4. Motion that combines both translation of the center of mass and rotation about that center.
5. A type of force, like gravity, where the work done is independent of the path taken.
6. The rate at which work is performed or energy is transferred over time.
8. The pulling force transmitted through a string, rope, or cable.
9. A collection of objects whose motion is analyzed as a single unit.
11. The type of energy an object possesses due to its translational or rotational motion.
12. A "center-seeking" force or acceleration required to keep an object moving in a circular path.
15. The mathematical process of finding the accumulation of a quantity or the area under a curve.
17. The rotational equivalent of force that causes an object to undergo angular acceleration.
