to transmit heat, sound, or electricity through a medium
a type of mixture in which the different parts are blended evenly so that the mixture is the same throughout
a push or pull that one object exerts on another object with or without direct contact
a push or pull that one object exerts on another object with or without direct contact (e.g., friction, gravity)
