Motion
Across
- 2. pair the forces two objects apply to each other.
- 3. a measure of the distance an object travels in a given amount of time.
- 6. a measure of the change in velocity during a period of time.
- 8. an object’s distance and direction from a reference point.
- 12. force the combination of all the forces acting on an object.
- 13. a quantity that has both magnitude and direction.
- 14. an attractive force that exists between all objects that have mass.
- 15. force a force that one object applies to another object without touching it.
- 18. a push or a pull on an object.
- 21. the difference between the initial, or starting, position and the final position.
- 22. force the force that pushes perpendicular to the object’s surface.
Down
- 1. first law of motion an object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion unless a force acts on the object.
- 2. diagram a simple model to understand what will happen to an object due to a force.
- 4. contact force that resists the sliding motion of two surfaces that are touching.
- 5. the speed and the direction of a moving object.
- 7. point the starting point you choose to describe the location, or position, of an object.
- 9. third law of motion when an object applies a force on another object, the second object applies a force of the same strength on the first object but the force is in the opposite direction.
- 10. second law of motion law that states that the acceleration of an object is equal to the net force exerted on the object divided by the object’s mass.
- 11. the gravitational force exerted on an object.
- 16. force a push or a pull on one object by another object that is touching it.
- 17. the process of changing position.
- 19. a region of space that has a physical quantity (such as a force) at every point.
- 20. collision when colliding objects bounce off each other.
