Across
- 3. The speed of an object in a specific direction.
- 5. The potential energy stored in elastic materials as the result of their stretching or compressing.
- 8. The process of changing from one form of energy to another.
- 10. A push or pull on an object that can cause it to accelerate, slow down, or change direction.
- 11. The potential energy held by an object because of its height above the ground.
- 14. A principle stating that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.
- 15. The energy an object possesses due to its motion.
Down
- 1. The stored energy an object has based on its position or condition.
- 2. The sum of kinetic and potential energy in an object that is used to do work.
- 4. The capacity to do work or produce change; it exists in various forms.
- 6. A group of interacting or interrelated elements that form a complex whole, often analyzed for energy changes.
- 7. A measure of the amount of matter in an object, usually measured in kilograms or grams.
- 9. A force that opposes the motion of an object, often converting kinetic energy into heat.
- 12. The measurement of an object from base to top; important in calculating gravitational potential energy.
- 13. The transfer of energy that occurs when a force is applied to an object and the object moves in the direction of the force.
