Front

What is a Free Body Diagram?

Back

A graphical representation used to visualize the forces acting on an object.

Front

What does the Normal Force do?

Back

It acts perpendicular to the surface and supports the weight of an object resting on that surface.

Front

What is the Weight Force?

Back

The force due to gravity acting on an object, calculated as mass times the acceleration due to gravity (W = mg).

Front

What is Frictional Force?

Back

The force that opposes the motion of an object in contact with a surface.

Front

What is Tension Force?

Back

The force transmitted through a string, rope, or cable when it is pulled tight by forces acting from opposite ends.

Front

What does the term 'Net Force' mean?

Back

The overall force acting on an object when all individual forces are combined.

Front

What is the role of Gravity in Free Body Diagrams?

Back

Gravity pulls objects downward towards the center of the Earth, represented as an arrow pointing down in a Free Body Diagram.

Front

How does Applied Force differ from other forces?

Back

Applied Force is a force that is applied to an object by a person or another object, unlike natural forces like gravity.

Front

What happens when forces are balanced?

Back

The object remains at rest or continues to move at a constant velocity.

Front

What is the significance of the direction of arrows in Free Body Diagrams?

Back

The direction of arrows indicates the direction of the forces acting on the object.
