Across
- 4. an object at rest stays at rest, an object at motion stays in motion, unless acted on by an outside force.
- 8. a force where two forces of equal size, act on a body, in opposing directions.
- 10. illustration used to visualize the applied forces and the resulting force.
- 12. the universal force of attraction acting between all matter.
- 14. a push or pull or any action that has the ability to change motion.
- 16. the force that holds the nucleus of atoms together.
- 17. how fast something is traveling.
- 19. for every action force, there is a force equal in strength and opposite in direction.
- 20. the amount of matter in an object.
- 21. the force that results in some radioactive decay in some atoms.
Down
- 1. the force that emits energy in waves
- 2. results in a change in motion and a net force
- 3. all objects with mass are attracted to all other objects with mass.
- 5. an object’s tendency to maintain its state of motion, or resist change in velocity.
- 6. the force that opposes the motion between two objects that are in contact.
- 7. the speed of something in a given direction.
- 9. a unit of measurement used to measure force.
- 11. the rate of change in velocity over a period of time.
- 13. the sum of forces acting on a particle or body.
- 15. the two forces that act on an object to put it into motion under Newton’s 3rd Law of motion.
- 18. acceleration is directly proportional to the force applied, and inversely proportional to mass.
