Newton's Laws Of Motion
Across
- 2. a push or pull on a object with a specific magnitude and direction
- 3. the net external force, ๐ net, on an object is proportional to and in the same direction as the acceleration of the object, a, and also proportional to the objectโs mass, m; defined mathematically as ๐ net=๐๐ or ฮฃ๐ =๐๐.
- 4. the force that a surface applies to an object; acts perpendicular and away from the surface with which the object is in contact
- 6. the tendency of an object at rest to remain at rest, or for a moving object to remain in motion in a straight line and at a constant speed
- 9. a pulling force that acts along a connecting medium, especially a stretched flexible connector, such as a rope or cable; when a rope supports the weight of an object, the force exerted on the object by the rope is called tension
- 11. a force that pushes an object forward in response to the backward ejection of mass by the object; rockets and airplanes are pushed forward by a thrust reaction force in response to ejecting gases backward
- 13. the sum of all external forces acting on an object or system
- 15. the sum of all forces acting on an object or system
- 17. a situation in which the only force acting on an object is the force of gravity
- 18. the quantity of matter in a substance
Down
- 1. when one body exerts a force on a second body, the first body experiences a force that is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force that it exerts
- 5. Newtonโs first law of motion: a body at rest remains at rest or, if in motion, remains in motion at a constant speed in a straight line, unless acted on by a net external force
- 7. a force acting on a object of system that originates outside of the object or system
- 8. an external force that acts in the direction opposite to the direction of motion
- 10. one or more objects of interest for which only the forces acting on them from the outside are considered, but not the forces acting between them or inside them
- 12. the force of gravity, W, acting on an object of mass m; defined mathematically as W = mg, where g is the magnitude and direction of the acceleration due to gravity
- 14. the study of how forces affect the motion of objects and systems
- 16. a push or pull on an object with a specific magnitude and direction
