- 3. states that if the net force acting on an object is zero, the motion of the object doesn't change
- 5. the forces two objects apply to each other.
- 9. motion in which an object is moving along a curved path.
- 12. a force that one object applies to another without touching it.
- 13. a force that acts perpendicular to the direction of motion, towards the center of the curve.
- 14. states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
- 16. a contact force that resists the sliding motion of two surfaces that are touching
- 17. a push or a pull on an object.

Down
- 1. the amount of matter in an object
- 2. a push or pull on an object by another that is touching it.
- 4. states that the acceleration of an object is equal to the net force exerted on the object divided by the object's mass.
- 6. forces acting on an object that combine and form a net force of zero.
- 7. states that the total momentum of a group of objects stays the same unless they are acted upon by outside forces
- 8. a force that exists between all objects that have mass
- 10. forces acting on an object that combine and form a net force that isn't zero
