Across
- 3. The force that attracts two objects toward each other, commonly experienced as the force that pulls objects toward the Earth. It gives weight to objects and keeps them grounded.
- 5. an object will remain in its current state of motion or at rest unless an outside net force acts on it
- 8. A force that opposes the motion of an object when it comes into contact with another surface. It can slow down or stop moving objects.
- 11. The unit of measurement for force in the International System of Units (SI). One Newton is the amount of force required to accelerate a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second squared.
Down
- 1. The rate at which an object's velocity changes over time. It indicates how quickly something speeds up, slows down, or changes direction.
- 2. equal and opposite forces on an object that result in no change in position, direction, or motion; combined net force equals zero
- 4. unequal forces acting on an object that may result in a change in position, direction, or motion; net force not equal zero
- 6. the combination of all forces acting on an object
- 7. A push or pull on an object that can cause it to move, stop, or change direction. Force is measured in Newtons.
- 9. The quantity of motion an object has, which depends on its mass and velocity. It is calculated as the product of an object's mass and its velocity.
- 10. The change in position of an object over time. Motion can be described in terms of speed, direction, and distance traveled.
