motion vocab
Across
- 3. Equal in size and opposite in direction
- 4. The force that attracts a body toward the center of the earth, or toward any other physical body having mass
- 7. The rate of change of velocity per unit of time
- 9. A vector whose length is the shortest distance from the initial to the final position of a point P undergoing motion
- 11. The quantity of matter in a physical body. It is also a measure of the body's inertia, the resistance to acceleration when a net force is applied
- 13. How much ground an object has covered
- 16. A property of matter by which it continues in its existing state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line, unless that state is changed by an external force
Down
- 1. One force is greater than another, the forces are not balanced
- 2. An object is said to be at rest if it does not change its position with respect to its surroundings with time
- 5. A push or pull
- 6. The time rate at which an object is moving along a path
- 8. A body is at rest or moving at a constant speed in a straight line, it will remain at rest or keep moving in a straight line at constant speed unless it is acted upon by a force
- 10. Not moving; not appearing to move; stable; fixed
- 12. The time rate of change of the momentum of a body is equal in both magnitude and direction to the force imposed on it
- 14. The force resisting the relative motion of solid surfaces, fluid layers, and material elements sliding against each other
- 15. When two bodies interact, they apply forces to one another that are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction
