Across
- 1. a force that one object can apply to another object without touching it.
- 3. a push or a pull on an object
- 4. a force that resists the motion of two surfaces that are touching
- 5. a measure of how hard it is to stop a moving object
- 7. an attractive force that exists between all objects that have mass
- 9. a principle stating that the acceleration of an object is equal to the net force acting on the object divided by the object's mass
- 10. forces acting on an object that combine and form a net force of zero
- 11. a principle stating that the total momentum of a group of objects stays the same unless outside forces act on the objects
- 13. a principle stating that when one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal force in the opposite direction on the first object
- 15. the tendency of an object to resist a change in its motion
- 16. a principle stating that if the net force on an object is zero, the motion of the object does not change
Down
- 2. any motion in which an object is moving along a curved path
- 3. the forces two objects apply to each other
- 6. a push or a pull on one object by another object that is touching it
- 8. in circular motion, a force that acts perpendicular to the direction of motion, toward the center of the curve
- 12. is the gravitational force exerted on an object
- 13. the combination of all the forces acting on an object
- 14. the amount of matter in an object
