Physics Vocabulary LK
Across
- 4. quantity that is defined as the rate at which an object changes its velocity.
- 9. Any object that is being acted upon only by the force of gravity
- 10. for example is what causes a ball to go faster and farther when rolling than a sliding book
- 11. amount of matter that is present in an object
- 12. quantity that refers to "how much ground an object has covered" during its motion
- 13. the force that opposes a motion that takes place within fluids or in between fluids
- 16. a set of coordinates that can be used to determine positions and velocities of objects in that frame
- 20. vector sum of all the forces that act upon an object.
- 22. quantities that are fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.
- 23. the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables - the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object
- 24. force of gravity that acts on an object.
- 25. the force exerted by a surface as an object moves across it or makes an effort to move across it.
Down
- 1. quantities that are fully described by a magnitude (or numerical value) alone
- 2. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction
- 3. when the surfaces of two objects are at rest relative to one another and a force exists on one of the objects to set it into motion relative to the other object.
- 5. results when an object slides across a surface.
- 6. An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force
- 7. this is the weight of the object.
- 8. quantity that refers to "how far out of place an object is
- 14. any place or point or coordinate which you take as standard with respect to which you will standardize other phenomena relatively.
- 15. quantity that refers to "the rate at which an object changes its position
- 17. push or pull upon an object resulting from the object's interaction with another object.
- 18. quantity that refers to "how fast an object is moving.
- 19. The change in position in an object over time.
- 21. mass in motion
