Force and Motion Vocabulary
Across
- 6. the force extended by a machine

- 8. the tendency of an object to resist a change in motion
- 9. the number of times a machine multiplies the effort force
- 10. states that the acceleration of an object is directly related to the net force applied to an object and inversely to the mass of an object
- 12. states that forces occur as equal and opposite pairs
- 13. the unit used to measure work
- 14. the combination of all of the forces acting on an object
- 16. found by dividing the change in velocity of an object by the change in time
- 18. the act or process of changing position or place
- 19. the force applied to a simple machine
- 22. forces that are not opposite and equal
- 23. the force due to gravity, equal to the product of the objects mass and the acceleration of gravity
Down
- 1. forces that are opposite in direction and equal in size, cause no change in motion, and equals 0

- 11. occurs when the force of air resistance becomes large enough to balance the force of gravity
- 15. an action that can change the motion of an object
- 17. states that an object at rest will stay at rest unless it is acted upon by an unbalanced force
- 18. the amount of matter in an object
- 20. the transfer of energy when an applied force moves an object over a distance
