Across
- 3. Newton’s law stating that an object at rest stays at rest or an object in motion stays in motion until unbalanced forces act upon it; often referred to as Newton's first law of motion
- 8. A measure of how much matter is present in a substance
- 10. A change in motion caused by an unbalanced force acting on an object; includes increasing speed, decreasing speed, or a change in direction
- 13. Newton’s law stating that for every action force there is an equal and opposite reaction force; often referred to as Newton’s third law of motion
- 17. Movement of energy from one system to another
- 18. The action and reaction forces that occur simultaneously when a force is applied to an object, and the object applies a force that is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction back on the original object
- 19. The tendency of a physical object to remain still or continue moving unless force is applied
- 20. A push or pull that can change the motion of an object
Down
- 1. The way that something causes a change
- 2. Newton’s law stating that acceleration of an object depends on the object's mass and the magnitude of the force acting upon it (F = ma); often referred to as Newton's second law of motion
- 4. A group of interacting, interrelated, or interdependent elements forming a complex whole
- 5. Forces on an object that cause change in the motion of the object
- 6. The change of energy from one form to another
- 7. Scientific law stating that energy can be neither created nor destroyed but just changes form
- 9. Resistance or force of equal magnitude acting in the opposite direction to an action force
- 11. The change in an object’s position with respect to time and in comparison with the position of other objects used as reference points
- 12. The ability of a system to do work; required for changes to happen within a system
- 14. The state of an object when it is not in motion
- 15. The sum of all the forces acting on an object
- 16. Forces on an object that do not change the motion of the object
