Force and Motion
Across
- 3. Speed in a given direction.
- 4. The rate at which work is done (Power = Work ÷ Time).
- 7. The straight-line distance and direction from the starting point to the ending point.
- 9. A force that opposes motion between two surfaces that are touching.
- 13. The total of kinetic and potential energy in a system.
- 14. The force of gravity on an object (measured in newtons).
- 15. Plane A flat, sloped surface that reduces the amount of force needed to lift an object.
- 17. The energy of motion.
- 19. The fixed point around which a lever rotates.
- 20. The distance an object travels per unit of time.
- 21. The ability to do work or cause change.
- 22. Force applied over a distance (Work = Force × Distance).
- 23. An inclined plane wrapped around a central shaft.
- 24. A measure of how well a machine converts input work into output work.
- 26. A device that changes the direction or magnitude of a force.
Down
- 1. The ratio of output force to input force in a machine.
- 2. A simple machine consisting of a rigid bar that pivots around a fulcrum.
- 4. A wheel with a rope or chain that changes the direction of a force.
- 5. Stored energy due to position or condition.
- 6. A push or pull on an object.
- 8. The product of an object’s mass and velocity.
- 10. Two inclined planes joined back to back; used to split or cut objects.
- 11. The rate of change of velocity over time.
- 12. – A simple machine made of a wheel attached to a central axle.
- 16. The force of attraction between two masses.
- 18. The total force acting on an object after all forces are combined.
- 25. The tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion.
- 27. The amount of matter in an object (measured in kilograms or grams).
