I. OBJECTIVES
Describe the overall objective and make a hypothesis

-This virtual simulation aims to help students understand the Forces and Free-Body Diagrams: Learn
how to navigate a drone by looking at Newton’s Law of Motion, the Law of Inertia, the Law of
Acceleration, and the Law of Interaction. The aim is to determine the moves and stops of the object used
in the simulation using a Law of motion by decreasing the amount of restore force and increasing the
amount of weight force
These laws allow us to understand how forces affect the motion of objects and systems.

II. BACKGROUND OF THE TOPIC

Introduce relevant background knowledge on this topic

-The learner has already received instruction on the subject of forces and free-body diagrams. Forces are
the interactions that bring about change. According to Newton's second law, F=ma, force is inversely
proportional to mass and directly proportional to acceleration. Vectors that reflect the forces of a certain
issue make up free-body diagrams. The direction of the resulting force will be easier to determine.

III. SUMMARY OF PROCEDURE

Summarize the steps taken in the simulation (include print screen for each procedure)

-The learner is initially introduced to Sir Isaac Newton, who developed the laws of motion. Vector
diagrams are used to explain the ideas of Forces, Magnitude, and Net Forces. Next, the idea of a center
of gravity is introduced, which is dependent on the geometry of a certain item. Dr. One then presented
three scenarios, each of which was influenced by a different sort of power (spring, underwater, wedge).
Dr. One then provided difficulties requiring free-body diagrams to complete the final simulation.

IV. INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS

Explain/Discuss the obtained results and theoretical concepts that are related to this activity

-There are three concepts that are connected: forces, magnitude, and net force. A system's total net force
is the result of all the forces acting on it. Forces are the interactions that lead to change; magnitude is the
amount of force. A symmetrical object's center of gravity is always on its center point, whereas the
center of gravity of an object changes depending on its geometry, as seen in the simulation. Several sorts
of forces are at work in each of the three scenarios (spring, under water, and ledge) that were previously
mentioned. Weight and restoring force are present for springs, buoyancy and weight are present
underwater, and normal force, weight, friction force, and weight are present for wedges. Similar to how
vector diagrams are resolved, so are the free-body diagrams.

V. CONCLUSIONS
Discuss/write down your conclusions, implications, things learned, problems encountered during the lab and how
they were solved, etc.)
-I consequently come to the conclusion that this simulation shows the many types of forces operating on
the item. Moreover, Newton's Law of Motion, the Law of Inertia, the Law of Acceleration, and the Law
of Interaction were discussed. The idea of the cartesian plane is useful for estimating the size of the
forces, and it may be used to the creation of free-body diagrams. We must understand the fundamentals
of trigonometric identities in order to calculate the object's magnitude. The center of mass for
symmetrical things is at the body's center; for asymmetrical items, the center of mass is determined at the
center by shifting the object to the left or right. This simulation may be performed offline as well as
online.
