- 8. a force where the combination of all the forces acting on an object
- 9. an applied force that is perpendicular to the object
- 11. two forces acting on the same object that are equal in strength and opposite in direction
- 13. a non-contact force that pulls objects with mass toward each other
Down
- 1. strength or degree
- 2. a force exerted at a distance
- 4. an action force and its corresponding reaction force, as described by Newton’s third law
- 7. two forces acting on the same object that are not equal in strength and opposite in direction
- 10. the attractive or repulsive force exerted by magnetic materials
- 12. Newton's ____ law of motion states if one object exerts a force on another object, then the second object exerts an equal but opposite force on the first object
