what does a free body diagram represent?
the internal structure of an object
the objects motion path
the objects material composition
all forces acting on an object
A free - body diagram is a graphical representation used in physics. It focuses on isolating an object from its surroundings. The main purpose is to show all the forces acting on that object. It does not deal with the internal structure (which would be more related to fields like materials science in a detailed sense), the motion path (though forces affect motion, the diagram itself is about forces, not the path), or the material composition (which is about what the object is made of, not the forces on it).
