Question
f a 2kg bird is pushed by the wind with a force of 2N, how fast does the bird accelerate?
Solution
To find the acceleration of the bird, we can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that the acceleration of an object is equal to the net force acting on it divided by its mass.
The formula is: a = F/m
Where: a = acceleration F = force m = mass
Given: F = 2N (force of the wind) m = 2kg (mass of the bird)
Substitute the given values into the formula:
a = 2N / 2kg = 1 m/s²
So, the bird accelerates at a rate of 1 meter per second squared.

A bird, when travelling at its normal speed, takes nine hours more to travel 15 km against the wind than the time it takes to travel the same distance along the direction of the wind. If it doubles its speed and travels the same distance, it takes one and a half hour less when it flies along the direction of the wind than the time it takes to fly against the wind. Find the speed of the wind.2 kmph kmph kmph kmph
A 2.70 kg bird is flying past a tree that has a 4.60 kg chipmunk in it. The chipmunk decides to jump on the bird so he can fly too. As the bird is flying past the tree, the chipmunk leaps off at 8.90 m/s in the same direction the bird is flying and lands on the bird. Immediately after the collision, the bird and chipmunk together have a speed of 11.6 m/s. What was the initial speed of the bird? 15.2 m/s 31.4 m/s 16.2 m/s 5.99 m/s
