Across
- 2. a state of equilibrium when the forces acting on an object cancel each other out, also known as a zero resultant force
- 5. a force that opposes the motion of objects that touch as they move past each other
- 12. the point at which the force acting on an object of air resistance is equal to the force of gravity acting on an object
Down
- 1. the measurement of force, one newton is the force it takes to move a one kilogram object at one meter per second squared
- 3. the force that air exerts on an object as it falls
- 4. the tendency of an object to keep moving until a force acts on it or stops it
- 6. the force with which an object’s mass is pulled toward the center of the Earth
- 7. the force that acts between two masses; it is an attractive force
- 8. the area in which a force can be felt
- 9. the tendency of an object to resist change in its motion
- 10. a push or pull that acts on an object
- 11. the amount of matter in an object
