Across
  1. 2. the distance traveled in a certain amount of time. The formula for speed is Speed= Distance / Time
  2. 4. Energy that is stored (not being used)
  3. 5. A push or a pull
  4. 9. Density changes in fluids (liquids and gases) resulting in heat transfer. Warm fluids rise, cool fluids sink.Radiation - Heat transfer from waves (no direct contact)
  5. 11. Energy that is moving (being used)
  6. 12. Energy that is stored by an objects position
  7. 14. plane a sloping ramp up which heavy loads can be raised

  9. 17. Energy from the movement of atoms
Down
  1. 1. The force that governs movement in the universe
  2. 3. The process plants use to convert radiant energy (sun light) to chemical energy (glucose)
  3. 6. Energy from the transfer of electrons
  4. 7. eat transfer
  5. 8. Energy stored in atomic bonds (ex. food, fossil fuels)
  6. 10. Force opposing forces that cause a change in motion
  7. 13. Force opposing forces that DO NOT cause a change in motion
  8. 16. a wheel with a grooved rim around which a cord passes. It acts to change the direction of a force applied to the cord and is used to raise heavy weights.
