Across
- 1. the path taken through the air.
- 5. the science of describing the motion of an object.
- 8. a quantity that has magnitude and direction
- 9. one of the four fundamental forces of the universe; is exerted by anything that has mass on anything else that has mass.
- 12. Inertia-objects at rest tend to stay at rest and objects in motion tend to stay in motion
- 13. a push or pull.
- 16. the tendency of objects to resist changes in speed or direction of motion
- 18. a theorem that states that the square of the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle equals the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides.
- 19. quantity having only magnitude, not direction.
- 20. the more force in an object, the more it accelerates
Down
- 2. the rate of change of velocity divided by time elapsed. The SI unit for acceleration is meters per second squared (m/s2).
- 3. the resistive force between an two objects.
- 4. the branch of science concerned with the nature and properties of matter and energy.
- 6. an object that is moving through the air.
- 7. a derived unit of measurement for force; one newton is equal to one kilogram times meters divided by seconds squared (kgm/s2).
- 10. a vector quantity that is equal to the addition of two or more vector components acting at the same point.
- 11. the amount or quantity.
- 14. the frictional force that air exerts on objects; also known as drag, FD.
- 15. a fundamental unit of measurement that is defined arbitrarily and not based on other combinations of units. Examples from the SI system include the meter, kilogram, liter, second, and kelvin.
- 17. every action has an equal and opposite reaction
