In a free body diagram, what forces should be included?
All forces acting on the object, including applied forces, gravity, normal force, friction, and tension.
What is the effect of upward acceleration on apparent weight?
Apparent weight increases; you feel heavier (Fn > mg).
What is the effect of downward acceleration on apparent weight?
Apparent weight decreases; you feel lighter (Fn < mg).
What is the effect of no acceleration on apparent weight?
Apparent weight equals true weight (Fn = mg).
What is the effect of free fall on apparent weight?
Apparent weight is zero; you feel weightless (Fn = 0).
In a free-body diagram for angular tension, what do the x and y components of the tension force represent?
The x-component represents the horizontal force exerted by the tension, and the y-component represents the vertical force exerted by the tension.
In an apparent weight diagram, what forces should be included?
Gravity (weight) and normal force.
