Across
- 4. The tendency of an object to remain at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force.
- 7. COLLISION A collision in which both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved.
- 8. The ability to do work or cause a change in a system.
- 9. OF ENERGY The principle that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or transformed.
- 12. PRINCIPLE A change in pressure applied to an enclosed fluid is transmitted undiminished to all portions of the fluid.
- 13. The rotational equivalent of force, causing an object to rotate about an axis.
- 14. The rate at which an object changes its position in a specific direction.
- 16. The product of an object's mass and velocity.
- 18. A mechanical wave that consists of a series of compressions and rarefactions.
Down
- 1. The region of space around a mass where another mass experiences a gravitational force.
- 2. The force applied perpendicular to the surface of an object per unit area.
- 3. FALL The motion of an object solely under the influence of gravity.
- 5. A push or pull on an object that causes it to change its state of motion.
- 6. LAw The relationship between the force applied to a spring and its resulting deformation.
- 8. A state in which all forces and torques acting on an object cancel out.
- 10. The change in velocity of an object per unit of time.
- 11. FRICTION Friction that opposes the motion of an object already in motion.
- 15. A longitudinal mechanical wave that travels through a medium as variations in pressure.
- 17. OF INERTIA The rotational analog of mass, determining how an object resists angular acceleration.
