Across
- 4. Forces that require contact between two objects or substances.
- 5. One of the two components of forces, it is the size of strength.
- 7. This is a measure of speed at a given instance. For example, if you are stopped at a traffic light this would be 0.
- 11. When a force is applied to an object, the purpose is to create this.
- 14. The rate of cahnge in velocity.
- 15. This type of force is the upward force exerted on objects in a fluid.
- 17. A sliding force that can break an object apart.
- 22. One of the four fundamental forces, this force is found within the atomic nucleus and is responsible for certain types of radioactivity.
- 24. The splitting of the nucleus of an atom.
- 26. One of the two components of forces, it describes which way the force is going.
Down
- 1. The force that resists motion in two objects.
- 2. The force that results from pushing or squeezing an object.
- 3. This is the result of unbalanced forces.
- 6. One of the four fundamental forces, this force deals with electricity and magnets.
- 8. One of the four fundamental forces, this force causes a ball to fall to the ground when thrown in the air.
- 9. Speed with direction.
- 10. The device used to measure the force exerted on something.
- 12. This type of force pulls a stretched object back to its regular shape.
- 13. This type of force results from a pull exerted on an object.
- 16. All forces added together.
- 18. The rate at which an object moves. It's equation is distance/time.
- 19. The forces that do not require contact.
- 20. A push or a pull
- 21. This force is the strongest of the four basic noncontact forces, it is the force that holds protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.
- 23. The amount of force applied to an object is measured in this.
- 25. A point against which the position of an object is measured.
