Across
- 3. The principal agency within the U.S. government that is focused on the oceans and atmosphere.
- 6. A person who uses computers to gain unauthorized access to data.
- 7. Traveling low-pressure cells that are frequently found in the area of the Polar front.
- 8. An unmanned aircraft or ship guided by a remote control.
- 9. A change in frequency due to the Doppler effect
- 10. This law states that the acceleration of a body is directly proportional to the acting on it and inversely proportional to the mass of the body, as in the same direction as the applied force. This is mathematically expressed as the formula F = ma. F represents the net or resultant force applied to a body after all forces acting on it are combined.
Down
- 1. Small, expendable floating hydrophone units that are dropped in the area of a suspected submarine, usually by aircraft.
- 2. A conical shock wave and associated explosion-like noise that forms when something travels at supersonic speeds.
- 4. A rising of the sea as a result of atmospheric pressure changes and wind associated with a storm.
- 5. The type of friction that is generated between a body moving through fluids, such as water or air (considered a fluid in these cases), which increases with the speed of travel through the fluid. This type of friction is often called drag.
