Force Diagrams are diagrams showing the magnitude and direction of the forces acting on an object. You can use these diagrams to determine the net force. Net force is the overall force acting on something. You can also see the direction by determining which side has more force. This is done by subtracting forces going in opposite directions. If the net force is 0 N, then it is balanced.
Force diagrams could be applied to dance. For example, the force of gravity is pulling her down. Therefore, the only force at the moment acting on her is gravity. Her net force would be 10 N

Questions
1.) What force usually acts against an applied force?
Friction
2.) How do you determine what direction the net force is?
By subtracting opposite forces and it's the side with the most overall force
