Physical Science
Across
- 3. The rate of doing work Power = work/time
- 5. Distance traveled per unit time
- 6. Force, The force that supports an object against gravity, often called normal force.
- 8. The property of a system that it enables it to do work.
- 10. Cell, A device that converts the chemical energy from a fuel into electricity through a chemical reaction with oxygen or another oxidizing agent.
- 11. Pair, The action force and the reaction force that occur in an interaction.
- 13. The property by which objects resist changes in motion.
- 14. The quantity of space an object occupies
- 17. A device, such as a lever or pulley, that increases (or decreases) a force or simply changes the direction of a force.
- 19. Fake science that pretends to be real science.
- 20. energy, The energy that matter possesses due to its position: Gravitational PE= mgh
- 23. resistance, the force of friction acting on an object due to its motion in air.
- 24. Velocity, Terminal speed in a given direction (often downward)
- 25. A synthesis of a large body of information that encompasses well-tested and verified hypotheses about certain aspects of the natural world.
- 26. Force, The combination of all forces that act on an object.
- 27. The resistive force that opposes the motion or attempted motion of an object past another object with which it is in contact, or through a fluid.
Down
- 1. A general hypothesis or statement about the relationship of natural quantities that has been tested over and over again and has not been contradicted; also known as a principle
- 2. A simple machine consisting of a rigid rod pivoted at a fixed point called the fulcrum.
- 4. An educated guess; a reasonable explanation of an observation or experimental result that is not fully accepted as factual until tested over and over again by experiment.
- 7. Inertia in motion given by the product of the mass of an object and its velocity.
- 9. The product of the force and the distance moved by the force: W= Fd
- 10. Fall, Motion under the influence of gravitational pull only.
- 12. simply stated, a push or a pull
- 13. The product of the force acting on an object and the time during which that force acts on that object.
- 15. an arrow that represents the magnitude and direction of a quantity
- 16. The force upon an object due to gravity. More specifically, the force with which a body presses against a supporting surface.
- 18. collision, A collision in which the colliding objects become distorted, generate heat and may even stick together.
- 21. The collective findings of humans about nature, and a process of gathering and organizing knowledge about nature.
- 22. A phenomenon about which competent observers who have made a series of observations are in agreement.
- 28. Speed, The speed at which the acceleration of a falling object terminates when air resistance balances its weight.
