Across
- 2. A type of friction that acts against the motion of an object moving through air.
- 6. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
- 7. Speed with a specific direction
- 9. A condition where no support force is acting on a body; it feels like there is no gravity, even if gravity is still present.
- 11. The rate at which an object's velocity changes over time; it can be an increase or decrease in speed or a change in direction.
- 14. The tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion; directly related to mass.
- 15. law stating that a physical quantity decreases in proportion to the square of the distance from the source.
- 17. The two forces involved in an interaction, as stated in Newton’s third law: for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
- 23. An arrow used to show both the magnitude and direction of a quantity.
- 24. Like terminal speed, but includes the direction of motion
- 26. The amount of space an object occupies.
- 28. Every object in the universe attracts every other object with a force that depends on their masses and the distance between them.
- 30. The total time an object stays in the air after being launched or jumped.
- 31. The acceleration of an object depends on the net force acting on it and its mass
Down
- 1. A push or pull acting on an object, measured in newtons.
- 3. The upward force that balances the weight of an object resting on a surface.
- 4. The curved path followed by an object under the influence of gravity Satellite= An objectthat orbits another object in space due to gravity.
- 5. An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion at constant velocity unless acted on by a net force.
- 8. rule A state where the sum of all forces acting on an object is zero, meaning the object is either at rest or moving at a constant velocity.
- 10. The minimum speed needed for an object to break free from a planet’s gravitational pull without falling back.
- 12. Motion under the influence of gravity only, with no air resistance.
- 13. A mutual action between objects where each exerts a force on the other.
- 16. The force that an object exerts on a supporting sur-face (or, if suspended, on a supporting string), which is often, but not always, due to the force of gravity.
- 18. The unit of force in the metric system.
- 19. The constant speed an object reaches when air resistance balances the force of gravity during free fall.
- 20. A force that opposes the motion of an object when it is in contact with another surface.
- 21. Any object that moves through the air or through space under the influence of gravity.
- 22. The amount of matter in an object; a measure of its inertia; not the same as weight.
- 25. A measurement that includes both size (magnitude) and direction Velocity= Speed with a specific direction
- 27. The total force acting on an object after all individual forces are combined.
- 29. An oval-shaped path; the shape of the orbits of planets and satellites under gravity.
