Force & Motion Vocabulary
Across
- 6. for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
- 9. a net force acting on an object that is not equal and opposite, causing the object to accelerate and change its state of motion
- 11. the rate of change of an object's velocity over time
- 12. a measure of the amount of matter in an object
- 14. a push or a pull on an object that results from an interaction between objects
- 15. the energy of motion
Down
- 1. An object at rest remains at rest, and an object in motion remains in motion at constant speed and in a straight line unless acted on by an unbalanced force
- 2. the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass
- 3. a force that opposes motion between two surfaces that are in contact with each other
- 4. the stored energy in an object due to its position, state, or configuration
- 5. the resistance of any physical object to any change in its state of motion
- 7. an organized group of related or interdependent parts that work together to perform a function
- 8. when two or more forces acting on an object are equal in strength and opposite in direction, resulting in a net force of zero
- 10. the overall force acting on an object, calculated as the vector sum of all individual forces
- 13. the scalar quantity that measures how fast an object is moving
