Across
- 2. The motion of a body when only the force of gravity is acting on the body
- 10. The energy that an object has because of the position, condition, or chemical composition of the object
- 14. The interaction between electricity and magnetism
- 17. Electric charge at rest; generally produced by friction or induction
- 19. The sum of an objects kinetic energy and potential energy due to gravity or elastic deformation; does not include chemical energy or nuclear energy
- 20. A fundimental property that leads to the electromagnetic interactions among particles that make up matter
- 22. A device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy
- 24. A push or pull exerted on an object in order to change the motion of the object: force has size and direction
- 25. The process of creating a current in a circuit by changing a magnetic field
- 27. The path that a body follows as it travels around another body in space
- 28. The combination of all of the forces acting on an object
Down
- 1. An element or compound that conducts electric current better than an insulator does but not as well as a conductor does
- 3. The force that resists the start of sliding motion between two surfaces that are in contact and at rest
- 4. The energy of an object that is due to the objects motion
- 5. Any material that attracts iron or materials containing iron
- 6. A device that increases or decreases the voltage of alternating current
- 7. A coil that has a soft iron core and that acts as a magnet when an electric current is in the coil
- 8. A religion where a magnetic force can be detected
- 9. A coil of wire with an electric current in it
- 11. A device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy
- 12. A force parallel to the velocity of the flow; it opposes the direction of an aircraft and, in combination with thrust, determines the speed of the aircraft
- 13. The force that opposes the movement of two surfaces tht are in contact and are moving over with eachother
- 15. A material in which charges can move freely
- 16. Any region in which a physical force has an effect
- 18. A material in which charges canĀ“t move freely
- 19. The force of attraction or repulsion generated by moving or spinning electric charges
- 21. One of 2 points, such as the ends of a magnet, that have opposing magnetic qualities
- 23. The tendency of an object to resist a change in motion unless an outside force acts on the object
- 26. A fore or attraction between objects that is due to their masses
