Across
- 11. momentum of an object moving through a circle
- 12. force applied to an object that causes it to move in a circle
- 14. movement between two extremes
- 15. the study of objects moving through the air
Down
- 1. imaginary or apparent force that is equal and opposite to the centripetal force that keeps an object moving in a circle
- 2. Kepler's first law of planetary motion, that planets move in ellipses as they orbit the sun
- 3. movement that repeats at a regular interval
- 4. Kepler's second law of planetary motion, that as planets move, a line drawn from the sun to the planet sweeps over an equal area in an equal amount of time
- 5. the process causing the oscillation to die down (generally due to friction)
- 6. the number of cycles in one second (measured in hertz)

- 8. a string or bar with a weight at the end that is free to swing back and forth
- 9. the position about which the oscillation occurs
- 10. the amount an object moves in each direction around the mean position
- 13. the time for one complete cycle
- 16. one complete movement, such as up and down of a spring or one complete revolution
