Unit 3: Vocabulary Crossword
Across
- 3. Forces acting on an object that cause no change in the motion of the object (i.e., the object will stay at rest or remain in motion at a constant speed) and result in a net force equal to 0 Newtons (N)
- 5. The distance an object moves per unit of time, such as miles per hour
- 6. A force that is applied on an object by a person or another object
- 10. The amount of matter in an object
- 11. A change in velocity over time
- 13. The change in position of an object in a given direction
- 14. The international unit of measure for force; the symbol is N
- 17. A push or pull that can change the position or motion of an object or material
- 18. The location of something relative to something else; such as north , east, south or west.
- 20. A law that states that an object at rest will remain at rest and an object in motion will remain in motion until an unbalanced force is applied.
- 21. A force that acts in the opposite direction to movement
Down
- 1. A pair of forces that exists between two objects interacting with each other; the forces are equal in size and opposite in direction
- 2. Motion on a straight line
- 4. A law that states that, when two objects interact, they exert forces on each other that are equal in size and opposite in direction
- 7. A force that pulls objects toward each other
- 8. The tendency of an object to remain at rest or in uniform motion in the same straight line unless acted upon by an unbalanced force
- 9. The measure of length between objects or points without regard to direction
- 12. A law that explains the relationship between force, mass and acceleration through the formula Force = Mass x Acceleration (N)
- 15. The sum of all forces acting on an object
- 16. A force acting on an object that causes a change in the motion of the object (i.e., the object will speed up, slow down or change direction) and results in a net force that does not equal 0 Newtons (N)
- 19. The distance an object moves per unit of time in a specified direction.
