Across
- 2. – the action or influence of people, groups or things on one another.
- 4. – to put forth as strength (exert a force)
- 5. – the ability to do work
- 8. – push or pull
- 11. The way we learn and study the world around us through a process of steps.
- 13. – remaining steady and unchanged (stays the same.)
- 15. – the changes in an object’s motion. This can be speeding up, slowing down or changing direction. An object’s acceleration depends on the object’s mass and the force applied.
- 16. – the tendency for an object to keep doing what it is doing (resting or moving)
- 17. - the higher the velocity and mass, the more momentum an object has. One way to think of momentum is that momentum measures how hard it will be to stop the object once it is in motion. Momentum can be transferred when two objects collide.
- 18. - the amount of force (pull) that gravity has on an object's mass. Your weight depends on the gravitational pull of your location.
- 19. – the exact location of an object.
Down
- 1. – a force that attracts (pulls) all objects to the center of the Earth
- 3. an object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion until a force acts upon it.
- 6. – the amount of matter (“stuff”) - in an object.
- 7. - a force that opposes (goes against) motion. Friction is created when two surfaces rub together. Effects of friction: slowing down or stopping an object, producing heat, or wearing away an object.
- 9. – measures how fast an object is moving (speed) AND the direction in which it is moving
- 10. – the line or course along which something moves.
- 12. force – the overall force(s) acting on an object.
- 14. – measures how fast an object is moving in a given amount of time.
- 17. – the change in position of an object.
