Question:
13. work
Answer:
(joules, J) Force x Distance, the exertion of force overcoming resistance or producing
molecular change
Question:
14. joules
Answer:
the SI unit of work or energy, equal to the work done by a force of one newton when its point

Answer:
(newtons, N) the force exerted on the mass of a body by a gravitational field.
Question:
20. metres
Answer:
(m) a measure of distance or displacement.
Question:
21. time
Answer:
(seconds, s) the indefinite continued progress of existence and events that occur in
apparently irreversible succession from the past through the present to the future.
, Question:
22. unit
Answer:
standards for measurement of physical quantities that need clear definitions to be useful
Question:
23. precision
Answer:
refers to the closeness of two or more measurements to each other
Question:
24. accuracy
Answer:
the degree of closeness of measurements of a quantity to that quantity's true value.
Question:
25. friction
Answer:
the resistance that one surface or object encounters when moving over another.
Question:
