Gravity and Motion Puzzle
Across
- 1. force that attracts a body toward the center of the earth, or toward any other physical body having mass.
- 4. force that resists or slows down the movement of two objects sliding against each other.
- 6. Various forms of power present in the universe.
- 9. The average location of an object's weight, acting as a balance point.
- 10. measure of how fast an object moves.
- 11. When gravity is pulling it down and no other forces are acting up on it
- 17. The acceleration of an object depends on its mass and the amount of net force applied to it.
- 18. curved, circular, motion of a repeating path around an object in space.
- 19. rate at which an object changes its velocity over time.
- 20. higher mass means an object is harder to speed up, slow down, or change direction.
Down
- 2. rate of change of an object's position, defined as its speed in an specific direction.
- 3. total length of space between two points, objects, or locations.
- 5. Every action in nature, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
- 7. measure of the force of gravity pulling down on an object
- 8. push or pull acting upon an object, resulting from its interaction with another object.
- 12. thick, protective layer of gases held closely to the Earth by gravity.
- 13. unchanging property of matter representing an object's inertia
- 14. "Quantity of Motion"
- 15. An object at rest, stays at rest, unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
- 16. action or process of moving or being moved.
