Across
- 4. force a push or a pull on one object by another object that is touching it.
- 5. a push or a pull on an object.
- 6. law of motion law that states that the acceleration of an object is equal to the net force exerted on the object divided by the object’s mass.
- 10. contact force that resists the sliding motion of two surfaces that are touching.
- 12. point the starting point you choose to describe the location, or position, of an object.
- 14. the process of changing position.
- 16. the combination of all the forces acting on an object.
- 18. the difference between the initial, or starting, position and the final position.
- 19. an attractive force that exists between all objects that have mass.
Down
- 1. a quantity that has both magnitude and direction.
- 2. an object’s distance and direction from a reference point.
- 3. a measure of the change in velocity during a period of time.
- 7. force a force that one object applies to another object without touching it.
- 8. a region of space that has a physical quantity (such as a force) at every point.
- 9. the speed and the direction of a moving object.
- 10. the forces two objects apply to each other.
- 11. force the force that pushes perpendicular to the object’s surface.
- 13. law of motion an object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion unless a force acts on the object.
- 15. a measure of the distance an object travels in a given amount of time.
- 17. the gravitational force exerted on an object.
- 20. law of motion when an object applies a force on another object, the second object applies a force of the same strength on the first object but the force is in the opposite direction.
