Across
- 5. The force that attracts objects towards each other due to their masses
- 6. The force that keeps an object moving along a circular path
- 8. The opposing force experienced by objects moving through air
- 10. Scientists systematically investigate nature by observing, forming hypotheses, experimenting, analyzing data and drawing conclusions.
- 12. A measure of the heaviness of an object, determined by its mass and gravity acting on it
- 13. A controlled procedure carried out under specific conditions to test a hypothesis or validate scientific theories
- 14. The distance and direction from the starting point to the ending point
- 15. The force that prevents two stationary surfaces from sliding past each other
- 17. A force that acts towards the center of a circular path, keeping an object moving in a curved trajectory.
- 18. The speed and direction of an object's motion
- 19. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Down
- 1. When all forces acting on an object cancel each other out
- 2. The rate at which an object changes its velocity
- 3. The tendency of an object to resist changes in motion
- 4. The product of mass and velocity, used to measure how hard it is to stop a moving object
- 7. The force that opposes the motion between two surfaces in contact with each other
- 9. The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass.
- 10. A proven scientific explanation based on evidence accepted by experts.
- 11. The rate at which an object moves or the distance covered per unit of time.
- 16. A push or pull that can change the motion of an object
