Across
- 3. friction that occurs as an object moves through a fluid
- 4. a diagram used to show the relative magnitude and direction of all forces acting upon an object in a given direction
- 7. distance an object travels per unit of time

- 15. distance or length measured in one direction
- 18. combination of all the forces acting on an object
- 20. object’s distance and direction from a reference point
