Wayground- Free Body Diagrams

What is the primary purpose of Free Body Diagrams?

• To measure an object's temperature

• To visualize the forces acting on an object

• To calculate an object's volume

• To determine an object's color

What two characteristics define forces as vector quantities?

• Mass and acceleration

• Speed and time

• Magnitude and direction

• Weight and volume

When an object is at rest on a flat surface, what two forces are acting on it, and how do their magnitudes compare?

• Applied force and friction, with the applied force being greater

• Gravity and normal force, with gravity being greater

• Gravity and normal force, with equal magnitudes

• Tension and applied force, with tension being greater

• Yes

• No

If a box is being pushed and is speeding up, how does the magnitude of the applied force compare to the magnitude of the friction force?

• The applied force is less than the friction force

• The applied force is equal to the friction force

• The applied force is greater than the friction force

• The friction force is zero
