Across
- 5. two or more forces acting on an object that are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, resulting in a net force of zero
- 6. a contact force that opposes the relative motion or tend
- 9. a pulling or stretching force, transmitted through a flexible medium like a rope or cable, that acts parallel to the medium's length
- 12. the force exerted on an object by a person or another object through direct contact, often described as a push or a pull, that causes the object to move, change its motion (including speed or direction), or deform
- 13. the property of matter to resist changes in its state of motion
- 14. a contact force that opposes the relative motion or tendency of motion between two surfaces in contact
- 15. the amount of matter in an object and is also a measure of an object's inertia
Down
- 1. the vector sum of all individual forces acting on an object
- 2. a push or pull on an object with mass that causes it to change its velocity
- 3. a net force that is not equal to zero, occurring when the forces acting on an object are not equal in magnitude and/or are not acting in opposite directions
- 4. scientific study of the deformation of the rocks that make up the Earth's crust and the forces that produce such deformation.
- 7. the rate at which an object's velocity changes over time
- 8. the rate at which an object's position changes and is defined as displacement divided by the change in time
- 10. a fundamental quantity that describes the "amount of motion" an object has, defined as the product of its mass and velocity
- 11. the international unit of measure for force
