What are the four fundamental forces that can act on an object in a free body diagram?
Back
The four fundamental forces are gravitational force, normal force, frictional force, and applied force.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the role of the normal force in a free body diagram?
Back
The normal force is the support force exerted upon an object that is in contact with a surface. It acts perpendicular to the surface.
4.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How does frictional force affect motion in a free body diagram?
Back
Frictional force opposes the motion of an object. It acts parallel to the surface and can either prevent motion or slow down an object.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is tension force and when is it present in a free body diagram?
Back
Tension force is the force transmitted through a string, rope, or cable when it is pulled tight by forces acting from opposite ends. It is present in scenarios involving pulleys or hanging objects.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How do you determine the net force acting on an object using a free body diagram?
Back
The net force is determined by vectorially adding all the forces acting on the object. Forces in opposite directions are subtracted, while forces in the same direction are added.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the difference between static and kinetic friction in the context of free body diagrams?
Back
Static friction acts on an object at rest and prevents it from starting to move, while kinetic friction acts on an object that is already in motion, opposing its movement.
