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?

Respuesta :

Answer:

F = 316.22 N

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 :

[tex]F=\sqrt{300^2+100^2} \\\\F=316.22\ N[/tex]

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