4. the overall force acting on an object, found by adding all individual forces together as vectors
5. the SI unit of force
7. the force of gravity on an object
10. a vector field that represents a region of space where an object experiences a non-contact force
13. the rate at which an object covers distance, a scalar quantity calculated by dividing the total distance traveled by the time taken
14. a measure of the amount of matter in a object
15. a graphical representation that isolates an object and shows all of the external forces acting on it
16. the average position of all the mass in a system

1. a push or pull on a object that can change its motion, direction, or shape
2. The property of an object that resists change in its state of motion
3. a quantity that has both magnitude (size) and direction
6. the support force exerted by a surface on an object, acting perpendicular to the surface itself
8. a state where an object has a net force and net torque of zero
9. a contact force that opposes relative motion between surfaces in contact
11. the rate at which an objects velocity changes over time
12. a single vector that represents the combined effect of two or more vectors, such as forces
