A toy helicopter flies forward with a force of 15 N into an oncoming wind of 10 N. The force of gravity pulls the helicopter down with a force of 5 N, but the propeller is providing an upward force of 10 N.

Answer 1

To find the net force acting on the toy helicopter, we need to calculate the sum of all the forces acting on it.

The force of gravity pulls the helicopter down with a force of 5 N.

The propeller provides an upward force of 10 N.

The helicopter flies forward with a force of 15 N.

The oncoming wind creates a force of 10 N against the helicopter's forward motion.

Let's calculate the net force:

Net force = (Force of gravity + Force from propeller + Force of forward motion) - Force of wind
= (5 N + 10 N + 15 N) - 10 N
= 30 N - 10 N
= 20 N

The net force acting on the toy helicopter is 20 N.
