Across
- 2. Supporting force exerted on an object in contact with a surface (always drawn perpendicular to the surface on which the object is resting).
- 3. strength or energy as an attribute of physical action or movement.
- 7. Upward force exerted on an object submerged in a fluid caused by difference in force on top and on bottom of a submerged object and equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.
- 10. Force that acts at a right angle to the direction of motion of an object through air. Lift is created by differences in air pressure.
- 11. Downward force of gravity acting on an object (represents the weight of the object). **
- 12. Caused by repulsion between atoms/molecules as an object is compressed (similar but opposite to tension force)
Down
- 1. Opposing force caused by irregularities and chemical bonds between surfaces moving past each other.
- 4. Force caused by excess electrical charge.
- 5. Caused by an object pushing air out of the way. Sometimes called air resistance.
- 6. Force applied on an object by a living person, animal, another object, etc.
- 8. Caused by attraction of atoms/molecules within a stretched rope or string.
- 9. Force due to charged objects moving in a magnetic field.
