  1. 1. When preceding the word product this means a technique for multiplying two vectors and producing a third vector that is perpendicular to each of the original vectors
  2. 6. The angle you need to add in order to reach 180 degrees
  3. 7. The subdivision of mechanics concerned with the forces that act on bodies that are in equilibrium
  4. 9. a part of something; in physics, the vectors (or scalars matched with their respective unit vectors) that sum vectorially to create the original vector from which they were derived; the effective value of a vector in a given direction
  5. 10. Upward force on the wings of an airplane or the rotors of a helicopter
  6. 11. Resistance to motion through a fluid
  7. 12. a single vector that can replace other vectors; a vector sum
  8. 13. a quantity that includes both a magnitude and a direction
  9. 16. The point of the arrowhead that indicates the direction of a vector
  10. 18. A method of adding vectors to find a resultant that does not involve the use of trigonometry
  11. 19. A force between two surfaces that opposes motion or attempted motion
  12. 20. a quantity that has a magnitude but not a direction
  13. 21. Perpendicular

  15. 24. Theorem that relates the size of a right triangle’s hypotenuse to the size of the other two sides
  16. 25. The angle you need to add in order to reach 90 degrees
Down
  1. 2. The process of breaking a vector down into its components
  2. 3. Force that pushes an airplane forward
  3. 4. Ratio of the magnitude of a vector to the length of the arrow representing it
  4. 5. The pull of gravity on an object
  5. 8. The pulling force transmitted through a (usually nearly one-dimensional) object
  6. 11. The vector from an initial location to a final location
  7. 14. an “anti-resultant” that can undo the effects of a vector or a group of vectors
  8. 15. Type of equilibrium in which there is no net force acting on an object and therefore no acceleration of that object
  9. 17. Side by side and maintaining a fixed distance of separation
  10. 23. The size of a value without regard for its direction
