Physics: Forces & Motion
Across
- 3. A measure of the size of the force of gravity pulling an object towards the centre of a massive body
- 4. A map of lines showing the size and direction of a magnetic force
- 8. The force of air pushing on an object as it moves through the air
- 9. Device with minimal components such as levels and wedges designed to make work easier
- 11. An upward force acting on a floating object provided by a fluid
- 12. A force is a push or pull exerted on an object that can cause it to change it to change its velocity
- 14. The unit that is used to measure force.
- 16. Balanced or equal
- 18. A type of friction used to assist movement
- 19. The factor in an experiment that changes in response to the independent variable
- 22. The quantity of matter in an object (usually measured in grams or kilograms)
- 24. The advantage of force-multiplying levers or other machines as defined by the load divided by the
- 26. Substance with large particles that can slide easily over each other
- 27. Force between objects that are not touching
- 28. Force acting between magnets and magnetic objects
- 30. A magnet that requires an electric current to become magnetic
Down
- 1. Attractive or repulsive non-contact force of electric charges at rest
- 2. The change in position of an object over time relative to a reference point.
- 5. Force used to cause movement
- 6. The force of attraction that exists between any two bodies in the Universe that have mass
- 7. An independent variable is the factor that is changed or controlled in an experiment to test its effects on the dependent variable.
- 10. Acceleration is the rate at which an object's speed or direction changes over time
- 13. Force between objects that are touching
- 15. The maximum constant speed reached by a falling body when the force of gravity pulling it down is balanced by the air resistance pushing against it
- 17. The sum of forces acting on an object
- 20. Force, such as the weight of an object, resisting motion against which a lever works
- 21. Change one form (of energy) into another
- 23. Move energy from one object to another using simple machines
- 25. The speed of an object in a specific direction
- 29. A substance that flows and has no fixed shape. Gases and liquids are fluids.
