It is a carving fork because it is used with a carving knife to hold the meat while you are carving with the knife and getting pieces out of it.

Which part of the tuning fork vibrates?

The tines.


What fundamental characteristics of the sound produced by a tuning fork depends on its frequency?

The characteristics that determine the frequency with which a tuning fork will vibrate are the length and mass of the tines.


How does the frequency of vibration of a tuning fork change when additional mass is added to the tines of the fork?

When additional mass is added to the tines of a tuning fork, the frequency of vibration decreases. This is because the added mass lowers the natural frequency of the fork, as the system becomes heavier and thus requires more energy to vibrate at the same rate. According to the principles of physics, the frequency is inversely related to the square root of the mass; therefore, increasing mass results in a lower frequency.


What type of motion exhited by a tuning fork?

A tuning fork exhibits simple harmonic motion (SHM) when struck. This type of motion occurs as the tines of the fork vibrate back and forth around an equilibrium position, producing sound waves. The motion is periodic, with a specific frequency determined by the fork's material and dimensions, resulting in a clear musical tone.


How big is a pitch fork?

A pitchfork typically ranges from 4 to 6 feet in length, with the tines measuring about 10 to 12 inches long. The number of tines can vary, but most common designs feature 3 to 4 tines. The size can vary slightly based on the specific use, such as for gardening or farming. Overall, it's designed for easy handling and effective lifting of materials like hay or straw.
