- 2. a course along which someone or something moves, faces or points.
- 3. The property of matter due to its mass and velocity
- 5. Energy stored energy that results from the position or shape of an object
- 7. The length of a path between two points
- 9. of Universal gravitation the scientific law that states that every object in the universe attracts every other object
- 13. A push or pull exerted on an object that causes it to move, change speed or direction or stop moving (measured in Newtons)
- 15. Friction Occurs between stationary objects;
- 16. Friction friction that occurs when an object rolls over a surface
- 17. How far an object moved from its original position and in what direction the object moved.
- 19. Friction friction that occurs when one solid surface slides over another
- 20. A measure of the force of gravity on an object
- 21. Movement or change in the position of an object according to its reference point.
- 25. The rate at which velocity changes (speeds up/slows down)
- 28. Arrows used to show force
Down
- 1. Point A place or object used for comparison to determine if an object is in motion
- 4. first law An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
- 6. Forces Forces that do not cancel each other out and result in a net force on an obejct
- 8. Adding up ALL numbers (data points) and DIVIDING by how many numbers (data points) you have.
- 10. A force of attraction between objects that is due to their masses.
- 11. Energy the energy an object has due to its motion
- 12. the amount of matter in an object
- 13. Friction Also known as air resistance. When an object moves through fluid, the object experiences fluid friction.
- 14. the resistance that one surface or object encounters when moving over another.
- 18. Second Law Force equals mass times acceleration
- 22. Third Law For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
- 23. the speed of an object in a particular direction
- 24. Forces Equal forces acting on an object in opposite directions
- 26. distance/time (formula)
- 27. Force The combination of all forces acting on an object
