Centripetal Force Vocab Puzzle
Across
- 1. equilibrium the state of an object balanced so that any small movement neither raises or lowers its center of gravity.
- 5. inertia the reluctance of an object to change its state of rotation, determined by the distribution of the mass of the object and the location of the axis of rotation or revolution.
- 6. arm the perpendicular distance between an axis and the line of action of a force that tends to produce rotation about that axis.
- 7. of mass point at the center of an object's mass distribution, where all its mass can be considered to be concentrated.
- 8. the rotational analog of force; the product of force and a lever arm.
Down
- 2. equilibrium the state of an object balanced so that any small displacement or rotation lowers its center of gravity.
- 3. momentum product of rotational inertia and rotational velocity
- 4. equilibrium the state of an object balanced so that any small displacement or rotation raises its center of gravity.
- 6. momentum product of the mass and the velocity of an object.
- 7. of gravity point at the center of an object's weight distribution, where the force of gravity can be considered to act.
