Physical Science 11 Vocabulary
Across
- 1. For a moving object, it is the distance between the starting and ending points
- 3. The change in position of an object
- 4. The knowledge obtained by observing the natural world
- 5. Speed/Velocity
- 9. The time rate of change of velocity (vector with magnitude and direction)
- 12. A point or place whcih is not accelerating and to which we refer when determiningg the position and motion of an object of interest
- 13. A force that opposes the motion of a moving object
Down
- 2. Acceleration
- 6. The time rate f change of distance in a particular direction (it has both magnitude and direction and is, therefore, a vector quantity)
- 7. A force that opposes the motion of a stationary object
- 8. The length of a path traveled by an object
- 10. Any action that can change the motion of an object (it has both magnitude and direction and is therefore a vector quantity)
- 11. The time rate of change of distance in a particular direction (it only has magnitude and is, therefore, a scalar quantity)
