Across
  1. 2. the study of motion without considering its causes
  2. 4. speed in a given direction
  3. 6. the change in position of an object
  4. 7. resistance a frictional force that slows the motion of objects as they travel through the air; when solving basic physics problems, this is assumed to be zero
  5. 9. the difference in y-value (the rise) divided by the difference in x-value (the run) of two points on a straight line
  6. 11. the study of the interactions between matter and energy
  7. 12. when multiplying you must ___ the exponents
  8. 15. an object that travels through the air and experiences only acceleration due to gravity
  9. 16. the SI base unit for length
  10. 17. a ratio of equivalent measurements
  11. 21. the SI base unit for time
  12. 23. created when graphing quadratic relationships
  13. 25. the sum of two or more vectors
  14. 26. a quantity that is described by magnitude, but not direction
  15. 27. ___ relationships can be written as y = mx + b
Down
  1. 1. the rate of change in velocity; the change in velocity over time
  2. 3. the degree to which a measured value agrees with correct value for that measurement
  3. 5. refers to the interchangeability of order in a function; vector addition uses this property because the order in which vectors are added together does not affect the final sum
  4. 8. the location of an object at a particular time
  5. 10. scientific notation is written as a ___ of two numbers
  6. 13. the magnitude of displacement between two positions
  7. 14. a quantity that is described by both magnitude and direction
  8. 18. the maximum horizontal distance that a projectile travels
  9. 19. the SI base unit for mass
  10. 20. created when graphing inverse relationships
  11. 21. when dividing you must ___ the exponents
  12. 22. in scientific notation the ___ is always greater than one and less than ten
  13. 24. a description of how close a series of measurements are to one another
