Across
- 5. A push or pull acting upon an object, measured in Newtons
- 8. The resistance force that opposes motion when two surfaces rub together
- 10. The change in position of an object, measuring how far it is from its starting point.
- 11. The net force on an object is equal to its mass multiplied by its acceleration (\(F = ma\)). A larger force produces greater acceleration, while a larger mass requires more force for the same acceleration.
- 12. The force of attraction between two masses
- 14. The total amount of matter within an object, generally measured in kilograms (
Down
- 1. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When one object exerts a force on a second, the second object exerts an equal force in the opposite direction on the first.
- 2. An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external, unbalanced force.
- 3. The transfer of energy that occurs when a force moves an object.
- 4. The rate of change of an object's position, indicating both speed and direction.
- 6. The measure of an object's motion, calculated as mass
- 7. The capacity to do work, which can be stored (potential) or in motion
- 9. The tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.
- 13. The rate at which velocity changes (speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction).
