Forces and Free Body Diagrams 11/6/13
Bellwork • What book did Newton write in 1687? • The Principia (Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy)
Force and Free Body Diagrams • Free-body diagrams (F.B.D.): Diagrams that show the relative magnitude and direction of all forces acting upon an object in a given situation.
Contact Forces Applied Force Surface Force Friction Force Air Resistance Force Tension Force Compression Force Spring Force Lift Force Thrust Force Action-at-a-Distance Forces Force of Gravity Electrical Force Magnetic Force
Free Body Diagrams • The direction of the arrow shows the direction that the force is acting. • The size of the arrow in a free-body diagram reflects the magnitude of the force. • Each force is labeled to indicate the exact type of force. • Represent the object by a box (or drawing) and draw the force arrows from the center of the box outward in the direction that the force is acting. • Can be any number of forces
Examples of F.B.D. • Ex 1) Mr. Z. standing on the ground. • Ex 2) As Mr. Z. is throwing a tennis ball across the room to the left. • Ex 3) The tennis ball as it moves through the air after Mr. Z. has thrown it.
