Free Body Diagrams Worksheet + Answer Key
The Worksheet
I developed this worksheet for my students who are taking AP Physics 1 or are just learning about forces and Newton's Laws. Because it's qualitative and not quantitative, it would also work well for middle school students who are learning about forces in a conceptual way, too.
The Content
I included the basic “draw a free body diagram of this situation” type problems, but also focused on those that are particularly counter-intuitive (like how in freefall the force is always straight down regardless of whether the object is moving up or down.)
There are also problems where a free body diagram is given and students are asked to describe a scenario that fits with the diagram.
