Question

The wind blows a jay bird south with a force of 300 Newtons. The

jay bird flies north, against the wind, with a force of 100
newtons. What is the net force on the jay bird?

Answer 1

F = 316.22 N

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The wind blows a jay bird south with a force of 300 Newtons.

The jay bird flies north, against the wind, with a force of 100 newtons.

Both the forces are acting perpendicular to each other. The net force is given by the resultant of forces as follows :

`F=√(300^2+100^2) \\\\F=316.22\ N`

Hence, the net force on the jay bird is 316.22 N.
