Across
  1. 5. a contact force exerted by a surface on an object, acting perpendicular to the surface
  2. 6. The rate of change of velocity. It is a vector that indicates a change in speed, direction, or both.
  3. 8. a simplified graphical representation of all the external forces acting on a single object
  4. 10. The magnitude of velocity. It is a scalar quantity, meaning it only has magnitude and no direction.
  5. 14. the property of an object that resists changes to its state of motion
  6. 16. weight is the force of gravity on an object
Down
  1. 1. the unique point in a system where the weighted average position of all its mass is located
  2. 2. A push or pull on an object.
  3. 3. A force that opposes motion or the tendency of motion between surfaces in contact
  4. 4. The vector sum of all forces acting on an object.
  5. 7. a non-contact force that acts on an object through a region of space called a field
  6. 9. The state where the resultant force on an object is zero. The object is either at rest or moving with a constant velocity.
  7. 11. the total force acting on an object, calculated as the vector sum of all individual forces
  8. 12. A quantity with both magnitude and direction, such as displacement, velocity, acceleration, and force.
  9. 13. a measure of the amount of matter in an object, and it also quantifies an object's inertia, or resistance to a change in motion
  10. 15. A newton is the SI unit of force, defined as the force required to accelerate a one-kilogram mass at a rate of one meter per second squared
