Across
- 5. the rate of change of an object's velocity with respect to time
- 7. a state of balance between opposing forces, influences, or actions, where no single influence dominates, resulting in stability
- 9. a fundamental, scalar property of matter representing an object's inertia—its resistance to acceleration when force is applied.
- 11. a quantity that has both magnitude (size or strength) and direction
- 12. a vector quantity representing the net change in an object's position, measuring the shortest distance from start to finish in a specific direction
- 14. a push or pull exerted on an object resulting from its interaction with another object
- 16. a fundamental, invisible force that draws any two objects with mass or energy toward each other
- 17. relating to, or resulting from motion, primarily used in science to describe energy, forces, or particles in movement
Down
- 1. the principle that the total mass or amount of matter within a closed system remains constant, neither created nor destroyed, regardless of the physical or chemical changes taking place
- 2. a person or tool that scales, most commonly referring to a dental instrument used for removing tartar and plaque from teeth
- 3. is the scalar rate at which an object covers distance, defined as distance divided by time
- 4. the ability to achieve maximum productivity with minimum wasted effort, expense, or energy
- 6. the force exerted on an object due to gravity, calculated as mass multiplied by gravitational acceleration
- 8. the natural tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion, including changes to its speed or direction
- 10. the rate at which an object changes its position in a specific direction
- 13. something possible, latent, or capable of developing into reality, but not yet realized
- 15. the numerical measurement of the physical space between two points, objects, or locations
- 18. the capacity to do work, or the ability to produce change, such as causing motion or generating heat and light
