forces unit vocabulary Issac Hernandez 3rd
Across
- 6. the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion
- 9. the single vector that represents the combined effect of two or more vectors, such as forces or displacements
- 10. a force that opposes the relative motion or tendency of motion between two surfaces in contact
- 11. a state where the net force and net torque acting on an object are both zero
- 12. a contact force exerted by a surface that is perpendicular to the surface itself
- 14. a scalar quantity that defines the rate at which an object covers distance
- 15. a region of space where an object experiences a non-contact force
Down
- 1. the rate of change of an object's velocity
- 2. a quantity that has both magnitude and direction
- 3. the force of gravity acting on an object's mass
- 4. laws of motion, which describe the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration
- 5. a measure of the amount of matter in an object and its resistance to acceleration
- 7. the vector sum of all forces acting on an object
- 8. the unique point in an object or system where its entire mass can be considered to be concentrated for calculating motion
- 10. an influence that can cause a push or a pull on an object, leading to a change in its velocity or shape
- 13. a graphical model that isolates a single object and uses arrows to represent all external forces acting on it
