Across
- 2. A vector field that describes a non-contact force acting on a particle at various positions in space
- 4. The single vector that represents the combined effect of two or more vectors, such as forces or velocities
- 5. The rate at which velocity changes over time
- 7. The property of an object to resist any change in its state of motion
- 11. The support force exerted by a surface that acts perpendicular to the surface of contact, preventing an object from falling through it
- 14. A visual tool used in physics to represent all the external forces acting on a single object
- 15. An interaction that causes a change in an object's motion, shape, or velocity
- 16. A measure of the amount of matter in an object and its inertia, which is its resistance to acceleration
Down
- 1. A force that opposes the motion or intended motion of two surfaces in contact with each other
- 3. A state where all forces and torques acting on an object are balanced, resulting in zero net force and zero net torque
- 6. The average location of all the mass in an object or system
- 8. The total, vector sum of all the individual forces acting on an object
- 9. The SI unit of force
- 10. A quantity that has both magnitude and direction
- 12. The force exerted on an object due to gravity
- 13. The rate at which an object covers distance and is a scalar quantity
