Force/Motion Vocabulary - #2
Across
- 4. The speeding up of an object. The rate at which velocity changes with time
- 5. to reach a conclusion using evidence and reasoning
- 7. to apply a force
- 9. the amount of matter that makes up an object
- 12. the force that opposes movement between touching surfaces and always acts against the direction of motion.
- 13. The process of moving or changing position.
- 14. the distance something travels in a certain amount of time
- 15. the energy that an object has because it is moving
- 19. the speed at which the force of gravity equals air resistance
- 20. A force caused by air, acting in the opposite direction of a moving object.
Down
- 1. When two equal forces act in opposite directions the result is that the forces are balanced and there is no motion. The forces cancel each other out.
- 2. A force that attracts objects toward the earth. "What goes up, must come down!"
- 3. an event or process that leads to a result or change
- 6. When one force is stronger than the other the result is motion.
- 7. a result or change that happens because of an event or process
- 8. push or a pull that can cause the motion of an object to change. It has two important properties: strength and direction.
- 10. The amount of force that is applied to an object.
- 11. a measure of how difficult it is to change the inertia of an object
- 13. anything that has mass and takes up space
- 16. speed in a given direction
- 17. the combination of all of the forces acting on an object including direction of the forces
- 18. matter’s resistance to change in motion
