earth exerts a downward gravitational force of 8.9 n on a cake that is resting on a plate. the plate exerts a force of 11.0 n up
ward on the cake, and a knife exerts a downward force of 2.1 n on the cale.
1 answer:
See the free-body diagram in attachment. (please rotate it such that N points upward)
Explanation:
The free body diagram (FBD) of an object is a diagram representing all the forces acting on a body. Each force is represented using an arrow, where:
- The length of the arrow is proportional to the magnitude of the force
- The direction of the arrow shows the direction of the force
In this problem, we have 3 forces acting on the cake:
- The force of gravity, downward, of magnitude (mg) (where m is the mass of the cake and g is the acceleration of gravity), equal to 8.9 N
- The force exerted by the knife on the cake, F = 2.1 N, acting downward
- The normal reaction exerted by the plate on the cake, N = 11.0 N, acting upward
The 3 forces are shown in the diagram attached. We also notice that the vector sum of all the forces is zero, in fact:
This means that the acceleration of the cake is zero, so the cake is in equilibrium.

Answer:
The range of wavelengths of the sound is 7692.30 m and 3846.15 m
Explanation:
A bat emits pulses of sound at a frequency between 39 kHz and 78 kHz. It is required to find the range of wavelengths of this sound.
Bat uses ultrasonic waves. It moves with the speed of light.
If f = 39 kHz,
If f = 78 kHz,
So, the range of wavelengths of the sound is 7692.30 m and 3846.15 m.
Answer:
3 m/s
Explanation:
Average Speed =
Plug in the numbers, it will be (6m + 3m) divided by (2s + 1s), which is 9m/3s, which equals to 3m/s.
