Forces Vocabulary
Across
- 2. a force exerted on an object through space, without direct physical contact.
- 5. a physics tool that isolates a single object and
- 6. a physics tool that isolates a single object and illustrates all the external forces acting on it using arrows.
- 9. the force required to accelerate a one- kilogram mass at a rate of one meter per second squared.
- 10. is the rate at which an object moves, defined as the distance it travels divided by the time it takes.
- 13. Force a state where the net force and net torque acting on an object are both zero, meaning there is no change in its motion.
- 17. the force of gravity on an object.
Down
- 1. Field is a contact force that resists the relative motion between surfaces in contact.
- 3. is a single vector that represents the combined effect of two or more vectors, such as forces or velocities.
- 4. all the external forces acting on it using arrows.
- 7. is the overall, resultant force acting on an object, found by adding all individual forces as vectors.
- 8. Diagram an influence that can change an object's motion or cause it to deform.
- 11. is the support force exerted by a surface that acts perpendicular to the surface and prevents an object from penetrating it.
- 12. of Mass is a quantity that has both magnitude (size or length) and direction.
- 14. is the rate at which velocity changes over time.
- 15. is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, which also quantifies its inertia-its resistance to changes in motion.
- 16. Force is the unique point where the weighted relative position of the mass of a system sums to zero, essentially the average position of all the mass in an object or system.
