Across
- 1. A push or pull that can change an object’s motion. Measured in Newtons (N).
- 4. A scalar measure of how far an object travels along a path.
- 6. of Mass The point in an object where mass is thought to be concentrated; the object balances around this point.
- 8. Third Law For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction acting on a different object.
- 10. A vector measure: the straight-line distance from start to finish in a specific direction.
- 11. of Forces A graphical method to find the resultant of two forces acting at an angle by constructing a parallelogram.
- 12. A force that opposes motion when two surfaces move against each other (e.g., air resistance, surface friction).
- 13. Diagram (Free Body Diagram) A diagram showing an object with arrows representing all forces acting on it.
Down
- 2. Force The overall force when all forces acting on an object are combined (taking direction into account).
- 3. A quantity that has magnitude and direction. An example would be displacement and velocity.
- 5. Forces Forces that are not equal, causing acceleration or a change in motion.
- 7. Forces Forces that are equal and opposite, resulting in no change in motion.
- 9. A quantity that has magnitude only (no direction). An Example would be speed or distance.
