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