An eagle has a forward force due to its wings at 6N the drag force is 4N backwards and it's lift force is 20 N upward what is th
e net force of the bird?
1 answer:
Answer:
20.1 N at 84°
Step-by-step explanation:
The forward force is 6 N and the drag force is 4 N, giving a net forward force of 2 N.
To this, we add the upward force of 20 N.
The upward and the forward forces are at right angles to each other, so we can use the Pythagorean theorem to determine the resultant (i.e., the hypotenuse of the right triangle).
R² = 2² + 20² = 4 + 400 = 404
R = √404 ≈ 20.1 N
tanθ = 20/2 = 10
θ = arctan10 ≈ 84°
The net force is 20.1 N at an angle of 84°.
The angle is only 6° from the vertical, so the eagle is going almost straight up.

Which number line represents the solution set for the inequality 2x – 6 ≥ 6(x – 2) + 8?
Step-by-step explanation:
- in order to know if the the point is on the line plug in the x coordinate to check if it gives you the y coordinate as an output.
- If you plug in the x coordinate and it gives you the given y coordinate then the point is on the given line
- Now let us plug in the value of x=-3
- now if you check plugging in the given x coordinate it does not give you the given y coordinate but -2
- therefore the point(-3,7) is not in the line but (-3,-2) is the point in the line.
