The free-body diagram game · NYS Regents & AP Physics 1
Hi, I’m Newt the Box! Help me figure out every force on me.
1. Choose your course
2. Start at level
How to play
You have 3 hearts ❤️. A wrong answer costs a heart. Lose them all and the run is over.
3 right in a row → LEVEL UP! (harder scenarios + 1 bonus heart, up to 5).
2 wrong in a row → warm-up: you drop one level to practise easier ones.
Streaks multiply your points: ×2 from the 4th in a row, ×3 from the 7th, ×4 from the 10th.
Question types: build an FBD, pick the right FBD, spot the fake force, predict the motion, calculate, concept questions and 3rd-law matching.
Keys: 1–4 pick an answer, Enter checks / goes on.
