Across
- 2. forces acting in opposing directions can be subtracted for the total net force
- 4. equal and opposite forces on an object that result in no change in position, direction, or motion; combined net force equals ZERO
- 7. the axis on a coordinate plane that displays distance (always vertical)
- 9. when the line on a distance vs. time graph is curved downwards we can say the object is ____________________
- 10. the tendency of an object to want to continue doing what it is doing
- 12. unequal forces on an object that may result in a change in position, direction, or motion; combined net force does not equal zero (it is greater than zero)
- 13. a rate at which an object changes its position
- 14. all distance vs. time graphs that have curved lines are depicting objects that are moving at a _____________ speed
- 16. law describing inertia–an object at rest tends to stay at rest, and an object in motion tends to stay in motion–UNLESS acted upon by an outside force. We call this tendency of objects wanting to continue doing what they are doing–INERTIA!!!
- 18. an object on a distance vs. time graph can be said to be at ________ when the graph is a straight, flat horizontal line
- 20. the measure of how steep a line is on a graph.
- 22. a measurement of length between two points
- 24. total distance an object travels divided by the total time it travels
- 25. the axis on a coordinate plane that displays time (always horizontal)
- 26. the combination of all the forces acting on an object
Down
- 1. results from unbalanced forces on an object
- 3. the continuous progression of existence that occurs in irreversible succession that can be used to measure the duration of events and the duration of the intervals between them
- 5. when the line on a distance vs. time graph is curved upwards we can say the object is ____________________
- 6. forces acting in the ___________ direction can be added together for total net force
- 8. describes the rate at which one variable (y) changes in relation to another (x)
- 9. a measurement of length and direction between a starting point and an ending point
- 11. motion, motion of an object in only ONE direction
- 15. when a straight line on a distance vs. time graph has a negative slope (line is heading back down towards the x-axis), the object can be said to be headed back to the ___________
- 17. a rate at which an object travels across a distance
- 19. this descriptive measure of a line is calculated by determining the ratio of the vertical change (rise) to the horizontal change (run) between any two points on that line and can be expressed by the formula: m= yx
- 21. the steeper the slope of a line on a distance vs. time graph is, the __________ the object is moving
- 23. all distance vs. time graphs that have straight lines are depicting objects that are moving at a _____________ speed
