Question

what does a force arrow in a free body diagram represent?
direction
magnitude
rewatch

Explanation:

In a free - body diagram, a force arrow represents both the direction and magnitude of a force acting on an object. The length of the arrow is proportional to the magnitude of the force, and the arrowhead points in the direction of the force.

Answer:

Both Direction and Magnitude are correct. A force arrow in a free - body diagram represents the direction in which the force acts on the object and the magnitude (the strength or size of the force) is often represented by the length of the arrow. If we must choose from the given options separately, then:

• Direction: A. Direction
• Magnitude: B. Magnitude
