Physics vocabulary
Across
- 3. is a quantity; it is also a measure of distance moved by an object in a given time but it has direction as well
- 6. is the rate at which an object's speed changes
- 8. the opposing force exerted by air on an object moving through it, acting in the opposite direction of motion, slowing the object down due to friction with air molecules,
- 9. a fundamental physics principle stating that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another
- 11. the fundamental force of attraction between any two objects with mass or energy, pulling them towards each other,
- 12. the standard unit of force, defined as the force needed to accelerate a 1-kilogram mass at 1 meter per second squared
- 14. is a special case of acceleration where objects get slower
- 15. = distance/time
- 17. a push or a pull on an object resulting from its interaction with another object, which can change the object's motion (speed or direction) or shape
- 18. the fundamental measure of the amount of matter (atoms, particles) in an object,
- 19. Stored energy
Down
- 1. is a measurement of the length between two points
- 2. has magnitude but not direction
- 4. Released Energy
- 5. the SI unit for distance
- 7. Has both magnitude and direction
- 10. something that is not moving with respect to an observer that can be used to detect motion.
- 13. of an object is a measure of its distance from a fixed point
- 16. is the change in an object's position over time relative to a frame of reference
