Across
  1. 2. - a push or a pull that acts on an object
  2. 4. - the product of an object’s mass and its velocity
  3. 5. of Conservation of Momentum - law stating that the total momentum of a system does not change if no net force acts on the system
  4. 8. Friction - a frictional force that acts on rolling objects, caused by the change in shape at the point of rolling contact
  5. 11. - the force of gravity acting on an object
  6. 13. - the tendency of an object to resist a change in its motion
  7. 15. - the attraction between any two objects because of their masses
  8. 16. Friction - a friction force that opposes the motion of an object through a fluid
  9. 17. - the amount of matter in an object; a measure of the inertia of an object, which depends on the amount of matter the object contains
Down
  1. 1. - a force that opposes the motion of objects that touch as they move past each other
  2. 3. Motion - the curved path of an object in free fall after it is given an initial forward velocity
  3. 6. Resistance - fluid friction acting on an object moving through the air
  4. 7. Friction - a friction force that opposes the motion of an object as it slides over a surface
  5. 9. - the SI unit for force
  6. 10. Friction - a friction force that acts on objects that are not moving
  7. 12. Velocity - the constant velocity of a falling object when the force of air resistance equals the force of gravity
  8. 14. Force - the overall force acting on an object after all the forces are combined
