Work, Force, Motion
Across
- 1. An objects change in position relative to a reference point.
- 4. The speed of an object in a particular direction.
- 6. The tendency of an object to resist being moved or, if an object is moving, to resist a change in speed or direction until an outside force acts on the object.
- 7. A device that helps do work by either overcoming a force or changing the direction of the applied force.
- 9. The unit used to express power; equivalent to joules per second.
- 12. A machine made of more that one simple machine.
- 13. A simple machine that consists of a wheel over which a rope, chain, or wire passes.
- 16. A measure of the amount of matter in an object.
- 17. The work done by a machine; the product of the ouput force and the distance through which the force is exerted.
- 19. The rate at which work is done or energy is transformed.
- 21. A simple machine that consists of a bar that pivots at a fixed point called a fulcrum.
- 22. The combination of all the forces acting on an object.
- 27. A number that tells how many times a machine multiplies force
- 28. The transfer of energy to an object by using force that causes an object to move in the direction of the force.
- 29. A simple machine that is made up two inclined planes and that moves; often used for cutting.
- 31. The constant velocity of a falling object when the force of air resistance is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force of gravity.
Down
- 1. A quantity usually expressed as a percentage, that measures the ratio of work output to work input.
- 2. A force of attraction between objects that is due to their masses.
- 3. The rate at which velocity changes over time.
- 5. The curved path that an object follows when thrown, launched, or otherwise projected near the surface of Earth.
- 8. A force that opposes motion between two surfaces that are in contact.
- 10. The unit used to express energy, equal to 1 Newton through a distance of 1 meter.
- 11. A Measure of gravitational force exerted on an object.
- 14. The SI unit for force.
- 15. The work done on a machine; the product of the input force and the distance through which the force is exerted.
- 18. A simple machine that is a straight, slanted surface, which facilitates the raising of loads; a ramp.
- 20. The motion of a body when only the force of gravity is acting on the body.
- 23. The distance traveled divided by the time interval during which the motion occurred.
- 24. A quantity defined as the product of the mass and velocity of an object.
- 25. A simple machine that consists of an inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder.
- 26. A simple machine consisting of two circular objects of different sizes; the wheel is the larger of the two circular objects.
- 30. A push or pull exerted on an object in order to change the motion of the object.
