Across
  1. 4. a wheel with a grooved rim around which a cord passes. It acts to change the direction of a force applied to the cord and is used to raise heavy weights.
  2. 10. Energy stored in atomic bonds (ex. food, fossil fuels)
  3. 11. Energy that is stored by an objects position
  4. 15. Energy from the transfer of electrons
  5. 16. the distance traveled in a certain amount of time. The formula for speed is Speed= Distance / Time
  6. 17. heat transfer from direct contact
  7. 18. Heat transfer from waves (no direct contact)
Down
  1. 1. A push or a pull
  2. 2. Energy that is moving (being used)
  3. 3. The force that governs movement in the universe
  4. 5. Force opposing forces that cause a change in motion
  5. 6. Energy that is stored (not being used)
  6. 7. Density changes in fluids (liquids and gases) resulting in heat transfer. Warm fluids rise, cool fluids sink.
  7. 8. The process plants use to convert radiant energy (sun light) to chemical energy (glucose)
  8. 9. Force opposing forces that DO NOT cause a change in motion
  9. 12. Energy from the movement of atoms
  10. 13. Energy from waves (ex. Light)
  11. 14. plane a sloping ramp up which heavy loads can be raised
