Answer:

the reaction force in this situation would be B

Explanation:

The action is the wings pushing down whilst the reaction is the air pushing up which allow the bird to fly .

plz mark brainliest to help me lvl up :P

Explanation to help get you the answer, not straight-up though:

Both fixed and flapping wings work by deflecting air downwards, says Professor Geoffrey Spedding, Chairman of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering at the University of Southern California. " [When air is forced downwards] the reaction force is upwards, and this lift force supports the bird's weight. The bird’s wing pushes against the air and the air pushes back with an equal and opposite force. Unfortunately, with every down stroke there must be an up stroke, what goes up must come down. If the bird had an equal upward stroke to its downward stroke, the net force of the bird’s wing flaps would equal zero.

Hope my knowledge helped you get an answer :3

A ball is thrown down vertically with an initial speed of 20 m/s from a height of 60 m. Find (a) its speed just before it strike
vivado [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Ball is thrown downward:

initial velocity, u = - 20 m/s (downward)

height, h = - 60 m

Acceleration due to gravity, g = - 9.8 m/s^2 (downward)

(a) Let the speed of the ball as it hits the ground is v.

Use third equation of motion

v^{2}=u^{2}+2as

v^{2}=(-20)^{2}+2\times 9.8 \times 60

v = 39.69 m/s

(b) Let t be the time taken

Use First equation of motion

v = u + a t

- 39.69 = - 20 - 9.8 t

t = 2 second

Now the ball is thrown upwards:

initial velocity, u = 20 m/s (upward)

height, h = - 60 m

Acceleration due to gravity, g = - 9.8 m/s^2 (downward)

(c) Let the speed of the ball as it hits the ground is v.

Use third equation of motion

v^{2}=u^{2}+2as

v^{2}=(-20)^{2}+2\times 9.8 \times 60

v = 39.69 m/s

(d) Let t be the time taken

Use First equation of motion

v = u + a t

- 39.69 = + 20 - 9.8 t

t = 6.09 second

Anna [14]

Answer:12 meter

Explanation:

acceleration(a)=6m/s^2

Time(t)=2 seconds

Distance =(a x t^2)/2

Distance =(6 x 2^2)/2

Distance=(6 x 2 x 2)/2

Distance=24/2

Distance =12

Distance is 12 meters
