Across
- 4. rate at which velocity changes with time, in terms of both speed and direction.
- 6. force, the support force exerted by a surface against and object resting
- 7. an action (usually a push or a pull) that can cause an object to change its velocity or its shape
- 8. the force exerted on a body by gravity
- 11. body diagram a graphical illustration used to visualize the applied forces, moments, and resulting reactions on a free body in a given condition
- 12. force the total force acting on an object, calculated as the vector sum of all individual forces
- 13. the vector sum of two or more vectors
- 14. the amount of matter in an object
Down
- 1. the force that resists motion when the surface of one object comes in contact with the surface of another.
- 2. of mass a hypothetical point where the entire mass of an object may be assumed to be concentrated to visualize its motion
- 3. If the size and direction of the forces acting on an object are exactly balanced, then there is no net force acting on the object
- 5. a quantity that has both magnitude and direction.
- 7. field The push or pull on an object with mass causes it to change its velocity.
- 9. the natural tendency of objects in motion to stay in motion and objects at rest to stay at rest, unless a force causes its velocity to change
- 10. the SI unit of force.
- 15. the rate of change in an object's position measured in units of distance per unit of time
