Mechanics
Across
- 3. energy an object has as a result of its motion
- 6. when two variables are related, one of the variable is free to roam so it is called the
- 7. the distance travelled in a particular direction from a specified origin
- 9. an unbalanced force causes an acceleration
- 11. fraction of energy which is usefully transferred
- 14. the twisting force that tends to cause rotation
- 15. one newton is the force which will accelerate
- 17. the force which opposes motion when one surface moves over another. it is caused by the roughness of the surfaces
- 18. the rate of change of velocity with time a vector, units m/s/s
- 19. upward force on the wing of an aircraft due to the air flowing around it
Down
- 1. what is done when a force moves an object in the direction of force. scalar
- 2. a body continues to maintain its state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external unbalanced force
- 4. change in momentum. a vector
- 5. the rate of change of displacement with time. a vector, units m/s
- 8. the rate of doing work. watts
- 10. one of the undefined qualities of physics, it measures the separation of two points.
- 12. the ability to do work
- 13. the force of gravity on a body
- 14. a force produced in a body. the opposite is compression
- 16. refers to the quantity of motion that an object has
