To determine the net forces acting on the toy helicopter, we need to consider both the forward forces and the vertical forces.
-
Forward Forces:
- The helicopter has a forward thrust of 15 N.
- There is an opposing wind force of 10 N.
Therefore, the net forward force is: \[ \text{Net Forward Force} = \text{Thrust} - \text{Wind} = 15 , \text{N} - 10 , \text{N} = 5 , \text{N} \]
-
Vertical Forces:
- The propeller provides an upward force of 10 N.
- Gravity pulls the helicopter down with a force of 5 N.
Therefore, the net upward force is: \[ \text{Net Upward Force} = \text{Upward Force} - \text{Gravity} = 10 , \text{N} - 5 , \text{N} = 5 , \text{N} \]
Putting this information together:
- The toy helicopter is flying forward with a net force of 5 N.
- The toy helicopter is flying upward with a net force of 5 N.
So, the correct answer is: The toy helicopter is flying forward with a force of 5 N and upward with a force of 5 N.
