Energy and Forces
Across
- 1. the measure of the amount of matter in a body/object/thing
- 3. states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
- 6. the rate at which velocity changes (speeding up)
- 10. energy of an object in motion
- 11. Wrote the laws of motion
- 13. a property of matter by which it remains at rest or in unchanging motion unless acted on by some external force
- 18. the Gravitational force with which the Earth attracts the masses towards its center
- 19. the speed of something in a given direction
- 20. states that objects in motion will stay in motion and objects at rest will stay at rest, until acted upon by a different force
Down
- 2. states that a force is equal to change in momentum per change in time
- 4. the opposite of acceleration, reduction in speed
- 5. the vector sum of all the forces that act upon an object
- 7. the resistance that one surface or object encounters when moving over another
- 8. energy held by an object, based on its position
- 9. a path for transmitting electric current
- 12. the ability to exert a force causing displacement of an object
- 14. the force exerted by magnets
- 15. the force by which a planet or other body draws objects toward its center
- 16. the unit of energy in the International System of Units
- 17. the push and/or pull on an object
