Science Vocab Chapter 2
Across
- 2. The gravitational force exerted on an object.
- 6. Any motion in which an object is moving along a curved path.
- 8. A force that resists the motion of two surfaces that are touching.
- 10. When one object exerts a force on the second object, the second object exerts an equal force in the opposite direction on the first object.
- 12. A measure of how hard it is to stop a moving object.
- 14. The amount of matter in an object.
- 16. An attractive force that exists between all objects that have mass.
- 17. A force that one object can apply to another object without touching it.
Down
- 1. The acceleration of an object is equal to the net force acting on the object divided by the object’s mass.
- 3. The total momentum of a group of objects stays the same unless outside forces act on the objects.
- 4. In circular motion, a force that acts perpendicular to the direction of motion, toward the center of the curve.
- 5. Forces acting on an object that combine and form a net force of zero.
- 7. The tendency of an object to resist a change in motion.
- 8. A push or pull on an object.
- 9. The forces two objects apply to each other.
- 11. If the net force on an object is zero, the motion of the object does not change.
- 13. The combination of all the forces acting on an object .
- 15. A push or pull on one object by another that is touching it.
