Across
- 2. A variable in an experiment that is kept constant to ensure that the test results are reliable and unaffected by other factors.
- 5. The motion of an object falling solely under the influence of gravity, without any other forces acting on it.
- 6. The force exerted on an object due to gravity, calculated as Weight=Mass×Gravitational Field Strength.
- 9. To spread out or scatter energy into the surroundings, typically as heat.
- 11. A force that resists the relative motion or tendency to move of two surfaces in contact.
- 14. The quantity of matter in an object, measured in kilograms or grams, and is independent of gravity.
- 16. Energy that is not usefully transferred and often dissipates into the surroundings, usually as heat or sound.
- 17. The process of transferring thermal energy from one body or system to another due to a temperature difference.
- 18. The force per unit mass experienced by an object in a gravitational field, commonly approximated as 9.8 N/kg on Earth.
- 19. The variable in an experiment that is deliberately changed to observe its effect on the dependent variable.
- 20. A summary of the results and findings of an experiment, determining whether the evidence supports the hypothesis.
Down
- 1. Relating to motion; kinetic energy refers to the energy an object possesses due to its motion.
- 3. The variable being measured or tested in an experiment, which is affected by changes in the independent variable.
- 4. A force that opposes the motion of an object moving through air, caused by collisions between the object's surface and air molecules.
- 7. Relating to heat; thermal energy is the internal energy of an object due to the movement of its particles.
- 8. A force of attraction between two masses, most commonly experienced as the force that pulls objects towards the Earth.
- 10. Information or data collected during an experiment or investigation to support or refute a hypothesis or conclusion.
- 12. A statement about what is expected to happen in an experiment, based on prior knowledge or hypothesis.
- 13. In physics, work is the energy transferred to or from an object via the application of force along a displacement.
- 15. Energy transferred to a desired form or location to perform a specific task.
