  1. 3. A measure of the size of the force of gravity pulling an object towards the centre of a massive body
  2. 4. A map of lines showing the size and direction of a magnetic force
  3. 8. The force of air pushing on an object as it moves through the air
  4. 9. Device with minimal components such as levels and wedges designed to make work easier
  5. 11. An upward force acting on a floating object provided by a fluid
  6. 12. A force is a push or pull exerted on an object that can cause it to change it to change its velocity
  7. 14. The unit that is used to measure force.
  8. 16. Balanced or equal
  9. 18. A type of friction used to assist movement
  10. 19. The factor in an experiment that changes in response to the independent variable
  11. 22. The quantity of matter in an object (usually measured in grams or kilograms)
  12. 24. The advantage of force-multiplying levers or other machines as defined by the load divided by the
  13. 26. Substance with large particles that can slide easily over each other
  14. 27. Force between objects that are not touching
  15. 28. Force acting between magnets and magnetic objects
  16. 30. A magnet that requires an electric current to become magnetic
Down
  1. 1. Attractive or repulsive non-contact force of electric charges at rest
  2. 2. The change in position of an object over time relative to a reference point.
  3. 5. Force used to cause movement
  4. 6. The force of attraction that exists between any two bodies in the Universe that have mass
  5. 7. An independent variable is the factor that is changed or controlled in an experiment to test its effects on the dependent variable.
  6. 10. Acceleration is the rate at which an object's speed or direction changes over time
  7. 13. Force between objects that are touching
  8. 15. The maximum constant speed reached by a falling body when the force of gravity pulling it down is balanced by the air resistance pushing against it
  9. 17. The sum of forces acting on an object
  10. 20. Force, such as the weight of an object, resisting motion against which a lever works
  11. 21. Change one form (of energy) into another
  12. 23. Move energy from one object to another using simple machines
  13. 25. The speed of an object in a specific direction
  14. 29. A substance that flows and has no fixed shape. Gases and liquids are fluids.
