What is a free body diagram?
A graphical representation showing all forces acting on an object.
List the forces represented in a free body diagram.
1. Gravitational force 2. Normal force 3. Frictional force 4. Tension or applied force
True or false: Free body diagrams only show forces.
True, because they focus solely on the forces acting on an object.
Difference between contact and non-contact forces.
Contact forces act through physical contact (e.g., friction), while non-contact forces act at a distance (e.g., gravity).
Fill in the blank: The ____ force acts downward due to gravity.
gravitational
What does the length of an arrow in a free body diagram represent?
The length indicates the magnitude of the force; longer arrows represent greater forces.
What is the normal force?
The force exerted by a surface perpendicular to an object resting on it.
How do you denote forces in a free body diagram?
Forces are represented by arrows pointing in the direction the force is acting, labeled with letters or symbols.
True or false: Forces in opposite directions cancel each other out.
True, because equal forces acting in opposite directions result in a net force of zero.
What is friction?
A force that opposes motion between two surfaces in contact.
How do you calculate the net force?
Net force is the vector sum of all individual forces acting on an object.
Difference between static and kinetic friction.
Static friction prevents motion; kinetic friction opposes the movement of sliding objects.
What is tension?
A force transmitted through a string, rope, or wire when pulled tight.
Fill in the blank: The ____ force acts upwards on an object in free fall.
air resistance
What does equilibrium mean?
Equilibrium occurs when the net force acting on an object is zero, resulting in no acceleration.
True or false: An object in motion always has unbalanced forces acting on it.
False, because it can be in uniform motion with balanced forces.
What is the first step in drawing a free body diagram?
Identify the object and outline all the forces acting on it.
