Newton's Laws of Motion Vocabulary
Across
- 1. A measure of how hard it is to stop a moving object.
- 3. The gravitational force exerted on an object.
- 6. A force that one object applies to another object without touching it.
- 7. A push or a pull on an object.
- 8. In a circular motion, a force that acts perpendicular to the direction of motion, toward the center of the curve.
- 10. Forces acting on an object that combine and form a net force of zero.
- 11. Any motion in which an object is moving aloForcecurved path.
- 12. The amount of mattean in an object.
- 15. The law that states the acceleration of an object is equal to the net force exerted on the object divided by the object's mass.
- 16. The forces two objects apply to each other.
Down
- 2. The law that states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
- 4. The tendency of an object to resist a change in it's motion.
- 5. A push or a pull on one object by another object that is touching it.
- 7. A contact force that resists the sliding motion of two surfaces that are touching.
- 9. The law that states that if the net force acting on an object is zero, the motion of the object doesn't change.
- 13. The combination of all the forces acting on an object.
- 14. An attractive force that exists between all objects that have mass.
