Across
- 3. the transfer of thermal energy from a light source (e.g., Sun, fire, light bulb, and burner) to an object or a substance
- 5. energy travels in the same direction (parallel) as the vibrations of the medium particles
- 9. the transfer of thermal energy through currents in liquids and gases
- 10. the linear distance between identical points on successive waves
- 11. energy stored in objects by force (e.g., stretched rubber band or balloon)
- 16. a measure of the amount of matter in a sample
- 17. the distance an object moves per unit of time, such as miles per hour
- 18. energy stored in the bonds of atoms and molecules of substances (e.g., food, natural gas, batteries, petroleum, biomass, and propane contain stored chemical energy)
- 19. a force that acts in the opposite direction to movement
Down
- 1. measure of the size of the disturbance of a wave; height on the y-axis
- 2. when an object that has a constant mass is acted upon by a force, the object will accelerate in the same direction as the force applied
- 4. energy travels perpendicular to the vibrations of the medium particles
- 6. speed in a direction
- 7. measurement of the total forces exerted on an object, measured in Newtons (N)
- 8. a push or pull acting on an object
- 12. total distance an object traveled by the total time it has traveled
- 13. the process of energy changing from one form to another
- 14. a force that pulls objects toward each other\
- 15. a force exerted on an object that is in contact with another object
