types of forces
Across
- 1. Gravitational Force
- 3. Buoyant Force
- 5. Applied Force
- 6. Tension Force
- 9. Magnetic Force
- 11. Normal Force
- 13. Opposing force caused by irregularities and chemical bonds between surfaces moving past each other
- 14. Supporting force exerted on an object in contact with a surface (always drawn perpendicular to the surface on which the object is resting).
- 16. Force applied on an object by a living person, animal, another object, etc.
- 18. Electrical Force
- 20. Compression Force
- 21. Caused by repulsion between atoms/molecules as an object is compressed (similar but opposite to tension force)
- 22. Lift Force
Down
- 2. Downward force of gravity acting on an object (represents the weight of the object).
- 4. Upward force exerted on an object submerged in a fluid caused by difference in force on top and on bottom of a submerged object and equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.
- 7. Caused by an object pushing air out of the way. Sometimes called air resistance.
- 8. Caused by attraction of atoms/molecules within a stretched rope or string.
- 10. Force due to charged objects moving in a magnetic field.
- 12. Frictional Force
- 15. Drag Force
- 17. Force caused by excess electrical charge.
- 19. Force that acts at a right angle to the direction of motion of an object through air. Lift is created by differences in air pressure.
