Across
- 2. The rate at which velocity changes over time; an object accelerates if its speed, direction, or both change.
- 4. The energy of an object that is due to the object’s motion.
- 5. The energy that is stored in an object due to its position, shape, or condition
- 6. 3rd Law of Motion For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts a force equal in size and opposite in direction on the first object.
- 8. A force that opposes motion between two surfaces that are in contact.
- 9. The tendency of an object to resist a change in motion unless an outside force acts on the object.
- 11. 2nd Law of Motion The unbalanced force acting on an object equals the object’s mass multiplied by its acceleration.
- 13. The capacity to do work; the influence required to perform an action.
- 14. An action exerted on a body in order to change the body’s state of rest or motion; force has a magnitude and direction.
- 15. A measure of the amount of matter in an object; a fundamental property of an object that is not affected by the forces that can act on the object, such as gravitational force.
Down
- 1. The speed of an object in a particular direction
- 3. An object at rest remains at rest and an object in motion maintains its velocity unless it is acted upon by an external force.
- 7. An object’s change in position relative to a reference point.
- 10. A measure of mass in motion; equal to the mass of the object times the velocity of the object.
- 12. The distance traveled divided by the time interval during which the motion occurred
