Unit 3
Across
- 3. forces that are equal in size and opposite in direction, canceling each other out and resulting in no motion change
- 5. the unit used to measure force
- 10. a relationship where one variable increases as the other increases
- 12. a push or pull acting on an object
- 13. happening at the same time
- 14. change in an object's motion (speed and/or direction); caused by unbalanced forces measured in m/s2
- 15. the total of all forces acting on an object, measured in Newtons (N)
- 16. force equals mass times acceleration (F = ma); the object accelerates in the direction of the force
- 18. a force that pulls objects toward one another, especially the pull of Earth on objects
Down
- 1. for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction
- 2. forces that are not equal and opposite, causing a change in an object's motion
- 4. the force that responds to an action force in an interaction
- 6. An object will stay at rest or in motion unless acted upon by a net force (also known as the law of inertia)
- 7. a relationship where one variable increases as the other decreases
- 8. the force applied by one object onto another in an interaction
- 9. a force that resists the motion of one surface against another
- 11. the speed of an object in a given direction
- 13. how fast an object is moving, calculated by distance divided by time
- 17. a measure of the amount of matter in a sample
