Question

A bird in flight pushes itself upward with

a 7.28 N force. If the bird is climbing at a
constant rate of 1 m/s (no acceleration),
what is the weight of the bird?
[?] N

Answer 1

The weight of the bird is equal to 7.28 N.

Step-by-step explanation:

The upward force acting on the bird = 7.28 N

The bird is climbing at a constant rate of 1 m/s.

We need to find the weight of the bird.

We know that the weight of an object is the force of gravity acting on it. It can be calculated as follows :

W = mg

In this case, 7.28 N of force is acting on the object. Hence, the weight of the bird is equal to 7.28 N.
