N2  - Abstract: Introductory physics classes typically teach free-body diagrams, in which a number of force arrows stem from the center of mass of an object, as the primary problem-solving model for working with forces.1,2 These diagrams enable the calculation of the total force in each coordinate direction, using the angle and magnitude of the individual forces applied. While free-body diagrams are commonly used, research has shown that learners (K–16) and teachers do not have a firm grasp of what forces are3–5 and often struggle with foundational physics concepts such as the idea of forces as interactions
