Across
- 5. any object thrown or launched into the air, moving under the influence of gravity alone
- 6. is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion.
- 9. the energy stored in any deformed elastic object
- 10. a measure of the gravitational force exerted on an object it’s value can change with the location of the object in the universe
- 11. the force that attracts a body toward the center of the earth
- 13. the energy of an object that is associated with the object’s motion
- 14. the net work done by all the forces acting on an object is equal to the change in the object’s kinetic energy
- 15. greek capital letter that represents the sum of the quantities that come after it
- 16. rate at which velocity changes over time
- 18. the change in position of an object
- 19. speed of something in a given direction
Down
- 1. the energy associated with an object because of its interaction with the environment
- 2. the product of the component of a force along the direction of displacement and the magnitude of the displacement
- 3. the sum of kinetic energy and all forms of potential energy
- 4. a single force whose external effects in a rigid body are the same as the effects of several actual forces acting on the body
- 7. a parameter that is a measure of a spring’s resistance to being compressed or stretched
- 8. the state in which the net force on an object is zero
- 12. the potential energy associated with an object’s position relative to a gravitational source
- 17. a force that acts on an object lying on a surface, acting in a direction perpendicular to the surface
