Across
- 1. A statement that describes a consistent and universal relationship observed in nature, often expressed through mathematical equations.
- 5. The SI unit of force that represents the force required to accelerate a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second squared.
- 10. The rate of change of velocity of an object per unit of time, indicating how quickly its speed or direction is changing.
- 13. The total path length traveled by an object, measured in units such as meters or kilometers.
- 14. The stored energy in an object based on its position or state, such as gravitational potential energy.
- 17. A well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that is substantiated through empirical evidence and rigorous testing.
- 19. The energy possessed by a moving object due to its motion, dependent on its mass and velocity.
- 20. The rate at which an object covers distance, measured as the distance traveled per unit of time.
Down
- 1. The principle stating that the total energy within a closed system remains constant over time, with energy changing forms but not being created or destroyed.
- 2. A testable and falsifiable statement or prediction that can be investigated to determine its validity.
- 3. The size or quantity of a physical quantity, often represented by its numerical value and unit.
- 4. The force exerted on an object due to gravity, measured in newtons, and dependent on mass and gravitational acceleration.
- 6. The ratio of useful energy output to the total energy input in a system, often expressed as a percentage.
- 7. The change in position of an object relative to a reference point, described by distance, displacement, speed, and velocity.
- 8. The amount of matter in an object, measured in kilograms, which remains constant regardless of its location.
- 9. The change in position of an object from its initial point to its final point, considering direction.
- 11. Transformation The conversion of energy from one form to another, such as from potential energy to kinetic energy.
- 12. The rate at which an object changes its position in a particular direction, taking into account both speed and direction.
- 15. The tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion, either at rest or in uniform motion.
- 16. A push or pull applied to an object, resulting in its acceleration or deformation, measured in newtons.
- 18. The capacity of an object to do work or transfer heat, measured in joules.
