Plenary Studio
FeaturesPhysics

Physics forces builder

The forces builder draws force diagrams on GCSE graph paper. Four modes cover collinear forces, resolving into components, finding a resultant and free body diagrams, with your values on the arrows.

Why this works in Physics

Force arrows drawn by hand end up different lengths for equal forces, and pupils read meaning into the wobble. Here the arrows are drawn to scale on graph paper, so equal means equal and the resultant is visible before anyone calculates it.

Set the values to match the question you are teaching, export the diagram for a worksheet, and turn on steps on canvas when the class needs the working shown.
