Across
- 5. speed and direction of a moving body
- 7. a push or a pull; has a size and direction
- 9. a force that resists motion
- 10. measures an object's tendency to remain at rest or keep moving with constant velocity
- 12. change in velocity divided by the amount of time needed for that change to take place; occurs when an object speeds up, slows down, or changes direction
- 13. the appearance of a straight line on a distance/time graph that indicates a constant speed
- 15. distance traveled divided by the time needed to travel that distance
Down
- 1. force that tends to draw all bodies in the earth's sphere toward the center of the earth
- 2. describes unequal forces acting on an object; results in a change in the object's motion
- 3. law of motion that states that an object aced on by a net force will accelerate in the direction of that force
- 4. the appearance of a straight line on a distance/time graph that indicates a body at rest
- 6. law of motion that states forces act in equal (in size) and opposite (in direction) pairs
- 7. law of motion that states that an object will remain at rest or move in a straight line at a constant speed unless it is acted upon by a force
- 8. describes forces that are equal but opposite in direction; when they act on an obect, they cancel each other out and no change occurs in the object's motion
- 11. ca change when the force of gravity changes
- 14. when unequal forces change an object's motion, the object moves in the direction of the __________ force
