A sharp knife cuts easily because it can exert pressure more effectively

Explanation:

  • When a sharp knife is used to cut a vegetable or fruit. It faces less area where it exerts force due to the sharpened edge.
  • Therefore, we have to exert less pressure.
  • On the other hand, when we try to cut with the help of a blunt knife, it has to face more area and as a result more friction.
  • Therefore, more force is needed to cut vegetables or fruit with a blunt knife as compared to a sharp knife.
