Across
  1. 2. - a change in the velocity of an object (change in speed or direction)
  2. 9. - the tendency of an object to resist a change in its motion
  3. 11. - Resistance of a fluid against the forward movement of an object.
  4. 12. - Motion in a straight line at a constant speed.
  5. 15. - A measure of the force exerted on an object by a gravitational field.
  6. 17. - force perpendicular to a surface that prevents an object from moving through the surface. It matches the amount of force the object pushes on the surface.
  7. 18. - A change in velocity where the velocity becomes a more positive velocity
Down
  1. 1. - Moving at a constant speed in a positive direction
  2. 3. - A change in velocity where your velocity is becoming a more negative velocity
  3. 4. A diagram showing all the forces acting on an object, the force's direction and its magnitude at a moment in time. It is used to predict the motion of the object
  4. 5. - Moving at a constant speed in a negative direction
  5. 6. - a force which is applied to an object by a person or another object
  6. 7. - The force that is transmitted through a string, rope, cable or wire when it is pulled tight by forces acting from opposite ends
  7. 8. - the motion of a body when only the force of gravity is acting on the body
  8. 10. A change in position over a time interval compared to a fixed reference point
  9. 13. - A push or pull exerted on an object
  10. 14. - A force that opposes motion between two surfaces that are in contact
  11. 16. - A unit of measure that equals the force required to accelerate 1 kilogram of mass at 1 meter per second per second
