Forces & Motion Vocabulary Crossword Puzzle!
Across
- 3. Is a "center-seeking" force that makes an object move in a circular path.
- 4. Is when two or more forces acting on an object are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, resulting in a net force of zero.
- 5. Is a measure of an object's inertia, which is its resistance to a change in motion.
- 9. Is a vector quantity that describes the rate of change of an object's position and includes both its speed and direction.
- 11. Is a measure of an object's motion, calculated as the product of its mass and velocity.
- 12. States that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass.
- 14. Is the motion of an object where the only force acting on it is gravity.
- 15. Is the force of gravity acting on an object's mass.
Down
- 1. Is a vector quantity that describes the rate of change of an object's position and includes both its speed and direction.
- 2. States that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, meaning that forces always occur in pairs.
- 6. Is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.
- 7. Is a force exerted by air that opposes the motion of an object moving through it.
- 8. When the net force on an object is not zero, meaning the forces acting on it are not equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.
- 10. Also known as the law of inertia, states that an object will remain at rest or continue moving at a constant velocity in a straight line unless acted upon by an unbalanced external force.
- 13. Is an interaction that causes an object to change its motion, velocity, or shape.
- 16. Is the universal force of attraction that exists between any two objects with mass.
