Across
- 6. Net force equals mass times acceleration, determining how motion changes.
- 7. A push or pull acting upon an object, resulting from its interaction with another object.
- 12. The speed of an object in a specific direction.
- 13. Stored energy based on an object's position or state (e.g., gravitational, chemical).
- 15. A force that resists the relative motion of two surfaces in contact.
- 16. The sum of all forces acting on an object.
Down
- 1. The rate at which an object's velocity changes over time (speeding up or slowing down).
- 2. Energy possessed by an object due to its motion.
- 3. The combining of two smaller atomic nuclei to form a larger one, releasing energy.
- 4. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
- 5. The study of the behavior of matter and energy at high speeds and high gravitational fields.
- 8. The law that objects continue their state of motion (or rest) unless acted upon by an external force.
- 9. The product of an object's mass and its velocity, representing its "quantity of motion".
- 10. The process of splitting an atomic nucleus into smaller parts, releasing energy.
- 11. The straight-line distance and direction an object moves from its starting point.
- 14. The force of attraction between all masses in the universe.
