Gravity Crossword (New 9/28/2021)
Across
- 2. One of the four fundamental physical forces. Is only attractive, never repulsive. Arises between particles of matter.
- 3. The force acting on a mass due to gravity. Measured in Newtons.
- 6. A physical measurement of the resistance of a body to acceleration. Measured in kilograms in the Metric System.
- 10. One of the four fundamental physical forces. The unification of electric and magnetic forces.
- 11. of the four fundamental physical forces. Binds quarks together in clusters to make more-familiar subatomic particles, such as protons and neutrons. It also holds together the atomic nucleus and underlies interactions between all particles containing quarks.
- 13. A region in space where each point is affected by a force. There are four fundamental field forces.
- 16. Statements, based on repeated experiments or observations, that describe or predict a range of natural phenomena. These often, at least originally, lacked a theoretical explanation.
- 18. A measure of how likely it is for an object to topple over when pushed or moved.
- 19. The rate of an object in free fall on the surface of the Earth. Numerically equal to 9.8 m/s2.
- 21. The rate of change of velocity per unit of time. Force divided by mass.
- 22. Part of one of the four fundamental physical forces. Can be attractive or repulsive. Arises between electrically charged particles because of their motion.
- 23. A physical measurement of a substance that is measured in kilograms in the Metric System. There are two kinds: Inertial and Gravitational.
- 24. A physical measurement of a body as measured by its gravitational attraction for other bodies. Measured in kilograms in the Metric System.
Down
- 1. A fundamental law of physics that states that gravitational and inertial masses are of a similar nature, quantitatively identical, and apparently indistinguishable.
- 4. Part of one of the four fundamental physical forces. Can be attractive or repulsive. Arises between electrically charged particles.
- 5. The constant of proportionality in Newton’s law of universal gravity. Numerically equal to 6.67 x10-11 N2m2/kg2.
- 7. A group of ideas that explain a group of facts or phenomena, also called laws, in the natural world. These are repeatedly confirmed through experiment or observation.
- 8. These are everyday macroscopic manifestations of the electromagnetic force such as friction, the normal force, buoyancy, and tension.
- 9. One of the four fundamental physical forces. Causes some forms of radioactivity, governs the decay of unstable subatomic particles, and initiates the nuclear fusion reaction that fuels the Sun.
- 12. The same as the center of mass, but used when discussing balancing an object.
- 13. A push or a pull. Measured in Newtons in the Metric System.
- 14. A point in a body of matter where the total weight of the body may be thought to be concentrated. In a uniform gravitational field the center of gravity is the same as the centre of mass. In this case the term center of mass is preferred.
- 15. The resistance of any physical object to any change in its velocity. This includes changes to the object's speed, or direction of motion. Measured in kilograms in the Metric System.
- 17. A point representing the mean position of the matter in a body or system.
- 20. theory that describes gravity.
