Question

Lourdes mixes several ingredients in a bowl, creating a cake batter. She holds the bowl up and turns it upside down, causing the cake batter to slowly fall into a pan. As the cake batter falls into the pan, Lourdes also uses a spatula to scrape the cake batter from the sides of the bowl and into the pan.
What forces are acting on the cake batter as it moves from the bowl to the pan? Be sure to explain whether each force acting on the batter is a contact force or a noncontact force. You should also explain how each force affects the motion of the cake batter.
