Across
- 3. A contact force that works against the motion of objects moving past each other; impacted by surfaces and angles of ramps
- 5. the unit of force
- 8. A push or pull on an object; causes change in motion of an object
- 9. forces acting on an object that combine and form a net force of zero
- 12. friction that occurs when an object rolls over a surface
- 15. A force that causes an object to move in a circle
- 17. a measure of the force of gravity on an object (mass times gravity)
- 18. the friction that exists between two objects that are attempting to move but are not yet in motion relative to each other
- 19. the measure of how much matter is in an object
Down
- 1. the friction that exists when two objects are in motion relative to each other
- 2. forces that have an effect only on objects that they touch
- 3. Gravity, Strong Nuclear Force, Weak Nuclear Force, Electromagnetic Force
- 4. the branch of physics that studies forces and how they can change an object's motion
- 6. force that acts in a direction perpendicular to the surface where two objects make contact; equal in magnitude and opposite in direction
- 7. the sum of all forces acting on an object
- 10. forces exerted at a distance
- 11. forces acting on an object that combine and form a net force in a particular direction
- 13. the tendency of matter to resist change in its motion
- 14. a field force that acts between any two objects; gives objects weight
- 16. a pulling force that is transmitted through a rope, chain, or similar object
