Force and Motion Word Search
This list has the vocabulary of a force and motion unit: a push or a pull, friction, gravity and air resistance, inertia and momentum, speed, velocity and acceleration, and the tools of the lab, from the ramp to the stopwatch.
Isaac Newton's three laws sum up the unit. An object at rest stays at rest, and a moving object keeps moving in a straight line, unless an unbalanced force acts on it; that is inertia, and it is why a seatbelt matters when a car stops short. Force equals mass times acceleration. And for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, which is how a rocket's thrust lifts it.
Speed tells how fast something goes; velocity adds the direction. Galileo studied falling by rolling bronze balls down a grooved ramp and timing them with a water clock, and he found that a ball covers four times the distance in twice the time. In 1971 the astronaut David Scott dropped a hammer and a falcon feather on the Moon, where there is no air, and they hit the ground together.
