Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Free-body diagrams display all forces acting on an object, helping scientists represent Newton's Laws of Motion. Scholars read a short description of motion and view the free-body diagram to begin the installment of a larger series on Newton's laws. They examine a change to the object's motion and must determine which new diagram best fits.
