Free Body Diagram Practice

Front

What is a Free Body Diagram (FBD)?

Back

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

Front

What forces act on a car moving at constant velocity?

Back

Gravity, Normal, Friction, and Applied forces.

Front

What is kinetic friction?

Back

The force that opposes the motion of an object sliding on a surface.

Front

What is the normal force?

Back

The force exerted by a surface to support the weight of an object resting on it, acting perpendicular to the surface.

Front

What happens to the normal force when an object is on an inclined plane?

Back

The normal force is less than the object's weight and acts perpendicular to the surface of the incline.

Front

What is the relationship between applied force and friction?

Back

The applied force must overcome friction for an object to start moving.

Front

What is the effect of gravity on an object at rest on a surface?

Back

Gravity pulls the object downward, while the normal force pushes upward, balancing the forces.

Front

What occurs in a free body diagram when an elevator accelerates downward?

Back

The normal force is less than the weight of the person, indicating a net downward force.

Front

What is static friction?

Back

The force that keeps an object at rest and prevents it from starting to move.

Front

How does friction affect motion?

Back

Friction opposes the motion of an object, slowing it down or preventing it from moving.
