- 2. A testable prediction or explanation about a phenomenon, based on observations or prior knowledge.
- 7. Fall: The motion of an object falling under the influence of gravity alone, with no air resistance.
- 9. Velocity: The velocity of an object at a specific moment in time.
- 10. Point: A fixed point used to determine the position of an object, typically stationary.
- 11. The amount of matter in an object, which determines its resistance to acceleration and its gravitational pull.
- 13. The straight-line distance between an object's starting and ending points, including direction (vector quantity).
- 15. The speed of an object in a specific direction (vector quantity).
Down
- 1. The rate at which an object's velocity changes over time (vector quantity).
- 3. The location of an object at a particular time, often defined relative to a reference point.
- 4. of Reference: A coordinate system or viewpoint from which an observer measures and describes the position, velocity, and acceleration of objects.
- 5. The force exerted on an object due to gravity, calculated as the mass of the object multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity (W = mg).
- 6. The tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion; objects at rest stay at rest, and objects in motion stay in motion.
- 8. The total path length traveled by an object, regardless of direction (scalar quantity).
- 12. The rate at which an object moves, calculated as the distance traveled divided by the time it takes (scalar quantity).
- 14. Velocity: The total displacement of an object divided by the total time taken to travel that displacement.
