Newton's 2nd Law & Free-Body Diagram
Push a block with forces and watch the free-body diagram and acceleration resolve.
About this simulation
Apply a force at an angle to a block on a surface and every force is drawn as a labelled arrow — applied, weight, normal, friction and the net — while the block accelerates by ΣF = ma. A lift mode shows apparent weight change. Builds the habit of drawing the free-body diagram before writing the equation.
