Down
- 1. The force that two object exert on one another when they rub against each other
- 3. The tendency for an object to resist a change in motion
- 4. a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object
- 6. Friction that occurs when objects move through fluid
- 7. The product of an object mass and velocity
