ACROSS

1. It is a vector that is the shortest distance from the initial to the final position of a
point.
2. It is the part of mechanics that deals with the analysis of bodies in motion.
3. He made the first significant contribution to dynamics.
4. It is represented as the distance traveled by a particle; a positive scalar quantity.
5. It is a form of motion which occurs when a particle moves along a straight-line
path.
6. It is a main branch of dynamics that deals with the study of the geometry of
motion.
7. It is a property of objects which can be transferred to other objects or converted
into different forms but never created nor destroyed.
8. It is a form of motion in which an object or particle is thrown near the Earths
surface, and it moves along a curved path under the action of gravity only.
9. It is the quantitative measure of the resistance of the particle to a change in its
velocity.
10. It refers to an activity involving a force and movement in the direction of the force.
11. It is any interaction that, when unopposed, will change the motion of an object.
12. It is an interaction of a particle to a surface.
13. In this direction, the only force acting on the projectile is gravity.
14. It is the product of the mass and velocity of an object.
15. It is a type of impact which occurs when the direction of motion of the mass
centers of the two colliding particles is along a line passing through the mass
centers of the particles.

DOWN

1. It is a branch of dynamics that studies the motion of bodies using the principles
established by Newton and Euler.
2. This type of impact occurs between two smooth particles: the particles move
away from each other with velocities having unknown direction as well as
unknown magnitudes.
3. It is a vector as given by the cross product and involves the product of force and
distance measured at right angles to the force.
4. It is the rate of change of its position with respect to a frame of reference, and is
a function of time.
5. It is a scalar quantity which describes how far the objects are.
6. He is credited with laying the foundation of classical mechanics with the
publication of Principia in 1687.
7. He developed the laws for the motion of finite bodies.
8. It is a main branch of dynamics which deals with the relationships between the
forces acting on the body and the resulting motion.
9. It is the rate of change of velocity of an object with respect to time.
10. It occurs when two bodies collide with each other during a very short interval of
time, causing relatively large forces to be exerted between the bodies.
11. It represents the location of a point P in space in relation to an arbitrary reference
origin O.
12. In this direction, there are no external forces there is no acceleration and the
velocity is constant.
13. It can be related to the stretch or compression.
14. This quantity depends upon where the measurement is made. It is not an
absolute magnitude.
15. It is the tendency of a body to be at rest or to remain unchanged.
