Physics Crossword puzzle
Across
- 4. speed in a specific direction
- 6. three laws that explain the relationship between an object's motion and the forces applied to it object's motion and the forces applied to it
- 9. the sum of all forces acting on an object within a system which includes magnitude and direction
- 10. Rate of change at which an object moves a distance over time.
- 13. all objects resist change in motion and are dependent on mass to continue what they are doing.
- 14. a force acting in contact with an object
- 16. Newton’s First Law states that an object's motion will not change unless an unbalanced force acts on it
- 18. rate at which velocity changes in speed or direction that is caused by unbalanced forces and mass
- 19. energy of objects in motion
- 20. forces acting on an object that cancel each other out which cause no movement with a net force of zero
- 21. a net force greater than zero which causes changes in motion of an object in the direction of the greater force
- 22. A force that is opposite of motion between two surfaces that are touching causing it to slow down
- 23. Speed that is steady and does not change
- 24. change in an object’s position or location
Down
- 1. The pull toward another object based on mass
- 2. A unit of measurement for force
- 3. push or pull between two objects which is measured in Newtons
- 5. Newton’s Second Law of motion explains that the acceleration of an object depends on its mass and the amount of force applied
- 7. stored energy of an object due to position, condition, or composition
- 8. group of items interacting to form a whole
- 11. Amount of matter in an object measured in grams or kilograms
- 12. A supporting force of a surface that prevents an object from falling
- 15. Newton’s Third Law shows that all forces occur in contact pairs where every action force has a reaction force that is equal in strength and opposite in direction.
- 17. total distance traveled divided by total amount of time
