A 2-pound banana resting on a plate as shown in the image. Identify each force label
- a = (1)
- b = (2)
- c = (3)
- d = (4)
- e = (5)
Please drag and drop the selected option in the right place or type it instead
The upward force of the plate on the banana
The downward force exerted by the banana on the plate
The force of gravity on the plate
The force exerted on the plate by the table or floor
The downward force of gravity on banana
Correct Answer
(1) The downward force of gravity on banana
(2) The upward force of the plate on the banana
(3) The force of gravity on the plate
(4) The downward force exerted by the banana on the plate
(5) The force exerted on the plate by the table or floor
Explanation
There are two forces on the banana-the downward force, a, of gravity on the banana (which is the banana's weight) and the upward force, b of the plate on the banana. There are forces exerted on the plate: the force of gravity on the plate (indicated as c), the downward force, d, exerted by the banana on the plate, and the force e exerted upward on the plate by the table or floor.
