Across
- 5. Upward force on an object, often generated by differences in air pressure
- 6. Force that is exerted on an object by another object or by a person
- 7. Force that a surface exerts on an object perpendicular to the surface
- 9. Force that attracts objects toward each other, especially toward the center of the Earth
- 11. Force that pulls on an object, often transmitted through a rope or cable
- 12. unit of force, equal to the force needed to accelerate 1 kilogram by 1 meter per second squared
- 15. Force that causes an object to follow a curved path, directed toward the center of the curve
- 17. Force exerted by a coiled elastic object when it is compressed or stretched
- 18. Force that holds the protons and neutrons together in the nucleus of an atom
- 19. Upward force exerted by a fluid on an object immersed in it
Down
- 1. Apparent force that draws an object away from the center of a curved path
- 2. Force that opposes the motion of an object through the air
- 3. Force that pushes on an object, often causing it to squeeze or shorten
- 4. Force of attraction or repulsion between electrically charged objects
- 8. Force of attraction or repulsion between magnets or magnetic objects
- 10. Forces that do not cancel each other out, resulting in a change in motion
- 13. Force that propels an object forward, often generated by an engine or propeller
- 14. Forces that cancel each other out, resulting in no change in motion
- 16. Force that resists motion between two surfaces in contact
- 20. Total force acting on an object, found by combining all the forces acting on it
