Across
  1. 4. the acceleration of an object is related to the net force acting on it and the mass of the object: F = ma
  2. 6. the speed and the direction of motion of an object; also, the rate of change of an object's position over time
  3. 7. the amount by which the opposing forces acting on an object are unequal
  4. 8. a force that must touch
  5. 11. the force that pushes up to support the weight of an object
  6. 12. the metric unit used to measure force or weight
Down
  1. 1. a push or pull that causes something to change its speed or direction
  2. 2. if the forces acting on an object are balanced, the object will continue doing what it is doing
  3. 3. a force that acts on an object to change its speed or direction from a distance
  4. 4. for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction
  5. 5. a change in an object's speed
  6. 9. a force that occurs when two things move past each other and rub together
  7. 10. a force that acts without physical contact to pull two objects toward each other
