Physics vocabulary
Across
- 2. the distance traveled in a certain amount of time. The formula for speed is Speed= Distance / Time
- 4. Energy that is stored (not being used)
- 5. A push or a pull
- 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)
- 11. Energy that is moving (being used)
- 12. Energy that is stored by an objects position
- 14. plane a sloping ramp up which heavy loads can be raised
- 15. Energy from waves (ex. Light)
- 17. Energy from the movement of atoms
Down
- 1. The force that governs movement in the universe
- 3. The process plants use to convert radiant energy (sun light) to chemical energy (glucose)
- 6. Energy from the transfer of electrons
- 7. eat transfer
- 8. Energy stored in atomic bonds (ex. food, fossil fuels)
- 10. Force opposing forces that cause a change in motion
- 13. Force opposing forces that DO NOT cause a change in motion
- 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.
