- 5. The scientist credited with the 3 laws of motion.
- 6. The force of an object is equal to its mass multiplied by its acceleration(F=ma).
- 7. a quantity that has a magnitude, but no direction (speed)
- 9. the units used for force
- 10. A measure of the force of gravity exerted on an object.
- 11. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
- 13. Speed in a given direction.
- 15. A place where an object is located.
- 19. The overall force exerted on an object measured in Newtons(N).
- 21. Speed that remains the same or does not change.
- 22. a quantity with a magnitude and a direction (velocity, acceleration)
- 23. How far an object has traveled.
- 24. The amount of matter in an object.
- 25. An object’s tendency to resist a change in motion.
- 26. The total distance an object travels divided by the total time traveled.
- 27. The frictional force air exerts against a moving object.
- 28. The rate of change of velocity which includes speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction.
Down
- 1. Any change in the location of an object.
- 2. A force that pulls all objects that have mass toward one another.
- 3. Equal forces that do not cause a change in an object’s motion.
- 4. Unequal forces that cause a change in an object’s motion – speed or direction.
- 8. A point used to determine the position of an object.
- 10. Using a force to move an object a distance when both the force and motion of the object are in the same direction.
- 12. force exerted on an object(s) by another object through direct contact (requires touching)
- 14. A push or pull on an object that may change the motion of the object.
- 16. An object at rest will remain at rest and an object in motion will remain in motion until acted upon by an unbalanced force.
- 17. The distance an object travels per unit of time.
- 18. A force that resists motion when two surfaces are touching each other.
- 20. How far an object is away from where it started.
