- 2. A unit of measurement that equals the force required to accelerate 1 kilogram of mass at 1 meter per second, per second
- 3. When the net force of an object is zero
- 8. The tendency of an object to resist any change in its motion
- 9. A force that one object can apply to another without physically touching
- 11. the amount of matter in an object
- 13. the force that pulls objects toward each other
- 15. A force exerted toward the center of a curved path
- 16. equal forces acting on an object in opposite directions
- 18. The maximum speed an object will reach when free-falling through a substance, such as air
Down
- 1. forces that produce a nonzero net force, which changes an object's motion
- 4. the force that one surface exerts on another when the two surfaces rub against each other
- 5. Friction acting upon an object moving through the air
- 6. the force of gravity on an object at the surface of the planet
- 7. The upward force that is applied to objects when they exert a force on a surface
- 10. A push or pull on one object by another that is touching it
- 12. the motion of a falling object when the only force acting on it is gravity
- 14. a push or pull exerted on an object
- 17. the overall force on an object when all the individual forces acting on it are added together
