Question

A bird has a mass of 6kg and accelerates at a rate of 7 meters per second squared. Find the net force.

Answer 1

The mass of the bird is given as 6kg,

`m=6`

And the acceleration of the bird is 7 meters per second squared,

`a=7`

According to the second law of motion, the force corresponding to a body under acceleration is given by,

`F=ma`

Substitute the values and obtain the corresponding force (F) as follows,

`\begin{gathered} F=6\cdot7 \\ F=42 \end{gathered}`

Thus, the force is 42 Newtons.
