A free body diagram is a simple diagram that represents all the forces acting on an object. It shows the object as a dot or a box and the forces as arrows pointing in the direction of the force with labels to indicate the type of force and its magnitude. This helps to analyze the motion of the object based on the net force acting on it.
What else can I help you with?
What is a force that is exerted on an object?
Gravity.
Does a free body diagram only includes the gravitational force acting on an object?
Newton's first law describes something special that results from the sum of all the external forces (including gravity) on an object. The forces exerted by the object on other things or on itself are irrelevant to that result, and so the free body diagram used to calculate that result gives the correct result even though we completely neglect forces exerted by the body. Why is Newton's first law important? That's a different question (see below).
What are the 2 opposing forces are acting on an object as it floats in a fluid?
The two opposing forces acting on an object as it floats in a fluid are buoyancy (upward force exerted by the fluid on the object) and gravity (downward force exerted by the object's weight). At equilibrium, these forces balance each other, causing the object to float.
What does the unbalanced force exerted on object at rest?
When an object is at rest, the forces acting upon it are balanced - there are no unbalanced forces.
What are the name of the forces that act on stationary object?
The forces that act on a stationary object are typically the gravitational force pulling the object down and the normal force exerted by the surface supporting the object.
When a force is exerted on an object an equal and opposite force is exerted by the object. These forces are referred to as?
Action-Reaction Forces.
The force exerted by a scale on an object is the?
The force exerted on a scale by an object and other forces acting.
When an object has balanced forces exerted on it the object is?
un-accelerated

When unequal forces are exerted an an object resulting in movement is called a?
Inertia.
How many forces make up the net force?
However many there are exerted on the object. Usually there is gravity, friction, and another force exerted on the object.
What is the name often given to the forces exerted by the second object back on the first object?
The "reaction" force.
The upward force exerted on any object in a fluid is called?
Buoyant forces
What are the name of the forces that act on stationary object?
The forces that act on a stationary object are typically the gravitational force pulling the object down and the normal force exerted by the surface supporting the object.
