Unit 4 - Forces and Motion
Across
- 4. an object’s distance and direction from a reference point.
- 5. the combination of all the forces acting on an object.
- 7. the forces two objects apply to each other.
- 8. the gravitational force exerted on an object.
- 9. a push or a pull on an object.
- 10. a measure of the change in velocity during a period of time.
- 12. a region of space that has a physical quantity (such as a force) at every point.\
- 16. the difference between the initial, or starting, position and the final position.
- 17. when colliding objects bounce off each other.
- 18. Newton's ______ law says that when an object applies a force on another object, the second object applies a force of the same strength on the first object but the force is in the opposite direction.
- 19. the process of changing position.
- 20. Newton's ______ law that says an object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion unless a force acts on the object.
Down
- 1. an attractive force that exists between all objects that have mass.
- 2. a force that one object applies to another object without touching it.
- 3. the force that pushes perpendicular to the object’s surface.
- 6. the starting point you choose to describe the location, or position, of an object.
- 7. contact force that resists the sliding motion of two surfaces that are touching.
- 11. the speed and the direction of a moving object.
- 13. a push or a pull on one object by another object that is touching it.
- 14. a measure of the distance an object travels in a given amount of time.
- 15. a quantity that has both magnitude and direction.
