Force
What is a quality that tends to produce movement or acceleration of a body in the direction of its application; a push or a pull
100
Liquid
What is one of the fundamental states of matter with a definite volume but no definite shape
100
Inertia
What is the property of an object, due to its mass, that causes it to resist any change in its motion unless overcome by a force
200
Entropy
What is a measure of randomness or disorder of a closed system
200
