- 6. Pair: The forces of two objects apply to each other
- 7. The speed and the direction of a moving object
- 8. Forces: Forces acting on an object that combine and form a net force of zero
- 10. Force: A force that one object applies to another without touching it
- 11. The tendency of an object to resist a change in motion
- 12. The difference between the initial, or starting, position and the final position of an object that has moved.
- 15. Law: Law that states that if the net force acting on an object is zero, the motion of the object doesn't change
- 16. The process of changing position
- 17. An attractive force that exists between all objects that have mass
Down
- 1. A contact force that resists the sliding motion of two surfaces that are touching
- 3. A measure of change in the velocity during a period of time
- 4. Force: The overall force acting on an object
- 5. Point: The starting point you use to describe a motion or the position of an object
- 9. Law: Law that states that the acceleration of an object is equal to the net force exerted on the object divided by the objects mass
