📋 Force Diagram Reminders

Steps for Drawing Force Diagrams:

1. Choose the object (draw as a single point/dot)
2. Only show external forces acting on the object
3. Use arrow direction to show where the force acts
4. Label each force clearly
5. Remember: Weight acts downward, Normal acts perpendicular to surfaces, Friction opposes motion

Force Types Word Bank: Weight/Gravity • Normal • Friction • Tension • Applied Force • Air Resistance/Drag

🎯 Force Diagram Practice

Draw arrows to show forces. Label each arrow with the force name. Longer arrow = larger force.

✅ Self-Assessment Checklist

Before submitting, check that you have:

Drew the object as a clear dot or circle

Showed all external forces as arrows pointing away from the object

Labelled each arrow with the correct force name

Made arrow lengths represent force sizes where possible

Checked that arrow directions make sense for each scenario
