Unit 5
Across
- 4. of momentum – Total momentum of a system remains constant if no external forces act on the system.
- 6. of metal – Takes place when a chemical reaction occurs on a metal's surface while oxygen is present; electrons move from the metal to the oxygen molecules, creating a metal-oxide surface and producing heat and light.
- 9. – How far away an object has moved from its original position.
- 11. force – The weakest attractive force between any two objects; depends on the masses of the objects and distance between them.
- 14. decay – A beta particle emitted from an atomic nucleus.
- 16. force – The force that acts on all charged particles; attractive or repulsive force between a magnet and electric charges.
- 20. – The compound/elements that are present after the chemical reaction.
- 21. – The rate at which an object changes its velocity.
- 22. – A substance that neutralizes acid to form water; has a pH above 7.
- 23. decay – Contains no mass or charge; travels at the speed of light.
Down
- 1. – The spot where an object is placed, typically represented as coordinate(s).
- 2. – A parent atom that splits into two daughter atoms.
- 3. – Two or more atomic nuclei combining to form a new nucleus.
- 5. – The compound/elements that are present before the chemical reaction.
- 7. – A change in momentum over time.
- 8. – An object that behaves like any other magnet when there is an electric field running through it.
- 10. reaction – The rearrangement of atoms to form new substances with different properties.
- 12. – The rate at which an object changes its position.
- 13. nuclear force – The weak attraction in the nucleus between protons and neutrons; can cause neutrons to decay in the instance of a high proton-to-neutron ratio.
- 15. decay – A type of fission reaction that produces an alpha particle.
- 17. – A substance that neutralizes a base to form water; has a pH less than 7.
- 18. – Elements found on the left side of the Periodic Table and have properties such as shiny, malleable, and good conductors of heat and electricity.
- 19. – How much inertia an object in motion has.
