THE LAWS OF MOTION
Across
- 2. a force that resists the motion of two surfaces that are touching
- 5. a push or pull on an object
- 9. forces acting on an object that combine and form a net force of zero
- 12. an attractive force that exists between all objects that have mass
- 13. a force that acts perpendicular to the direction of motion, toward the center of a curve
- 15. the total momentum of a group of objects stays the same unless outside forces act on the objects
- 18. forces acting on an object that combine and form a net force that is not zero
Down
- 1. Newton's ________ states; when an object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts a force of the same size but in the opposite direction
- 3. Newton's ________ states that; if the net force of an object is zero, the motion of the object does not change
- 4. a force that one object can apply to another object without touching it
- 5. the friction between a surface and a fluid
- 6. Newton's _______ states that the acceleration of an object is equal to the net force acting on the object divided by the object's mass
- 7. the tendency of an object to resist a change in its motion
- 8. the gravitational force exerted on an object
- 10. any motion in which an object is moving along a curved path
- 11. a push or pull on one object by another that is touching it
- 14. is the amount of matter in an object
- 16. the combination of all the forces acting on an object
- 17. opposes the motion of surfaces sliding past each other
