Across

- 3. – The single force that has the same effect as all the other forces combined.
- 5. – The amount of matter in an object.
- 7. – The tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion.
- 9. – A simple drawing that shows all the forces acting on one object.
- 11. – The force of gravity pulling on an object’s mass.
- 12. – When all forces on an object are balanced, so it doesn’t accelerate.
- 14. – The total force acting on an object after all forces are added together.
Down
- 1. – A region where a force (like gravity or magnetism) can be felt.
- 2. – The point where an object’s mass is evenly balanced.
- 4. – A quantity that has both size (magnitude) and direction.
- 6. – How fast something moves; distance divided by time.
- 8. – The unit used to measure force; one newton equals the force needed to move 1 kg by 1 m/s².
- 9. – The force that resists motion between two touching surfaces.
- 10. – The rate at which an object’s speed or direction changes.
- 13. – The support force from a surface that pushes up on an object resting on it.
