To show the magnitude and direction of all forces acting upon an object, scientists use a free body diagram. This simulation serves as an introduction to free body diagrams allowing scholars to build their own. Pupils select the proper.
Interactive
Pupils read a description of a physical situation and select the free-body diagram that best matches. As part of a series on applying Newton's Laws of Motion, scholars reinforce their skills applying forces and considering their relative.
In this free body diagrams activity, students solve twelve problems in which they construct a free body diagram for the situation given. A summary of how to complete free-body diagrams is given.
