Force body diagrams - Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

These notes cover Section B as per the IEB Physical Science SAGS. included are notes on the (1) Different kinds of forces, (2) Force Diagrams and free body diagrams and (3) Newtons First, Second and Third laws. These notes are detailed and explain different calculation scenarios step-by-step but to perform to your best potential, exposing yourself to other examples and past paper questions will build your confidence for the final exam. These notes are also suitable for Grade 11 but have been cre...

Scalar A unit with magnitude but no direction. Vector A unit with magnitude and direction. What are the two methods for adding vectors? Scale drawings and trigonometry. Free-body force diagrams Show all the forces acting on a body, each arrow shows the size and the direction of the force. Equilibrium The forces acting on a body are balances and it is not accelerating (it may be at rest or at a constant velocity). Moment The turning effect of a force. Moment equation Force x perpendicul...

AP Physics C: Mechanics - Unit 2 MCQ with Answers A person is cleaning a wall by pushing a brush against the wall, as shown in the figure. The person is pushing the brush upward with an increasing speed. Which of the following free-body diagrams best represents the motion described? - Answer>> D. 3 vectors. This figure shows a vector pointing up and to the right. The component to the right is approximately equal to the vector to the left. The component upward is greater than the vector ...

Solids and Structures 1 (ENGG110) 2023 Equilibrium of a rigid body Objectives • To demonstrate how 2-D equations of equilibrium apply to a rigid-body (in which not all forces converge at a point) • To practice drawing free-body diagrams • To identify two-force members We can use ‘equilibrium at a point’ to determine the cable forces Fx=0; Fy=0 But we need to use ‘equilibrium of a rigid body’ to determine t...

AQA GCSE Physics -Paper 2 100% Pass Scalar quantities with only magnitude such as speed, distance, time and mass. Vector quantities with a magnitude and direction e.g. acceleration, force momentum and weight. A vector quantity can be represented as an arrow, the size representing the magnitude and the direction, the direction. Non-contact force the objects are physically separate e.g. magnetism/gravity/electrostatic. 3 non-contact forces magnetism gravity electrostatic Contact force object...
