  6. 14. the study of the interactions of matter, motion, energy, and force
  7. 17. force that is caused by electric charges in matter
  8. 21. for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction
  9. 24. labeled indication of the strength and direction of a force on an object
  10. 25. potential energy an object with mass due to gravity
  11. 26. conversion of one form of energy into another or movement of energy from one place to another
  12. 27. forces that are equal in strength and acting on the same object in opposite directions
  13. 28. act together or towards others or with others
Down
  1. 1. forces that are not equal in strength, but act on the same object in opposite directions
  2. 3. the force between any two objects or a surface that are in touch with each other
