To find the net force acting on the helicopter, we need to calculate the sum of all the forces acting on it.
Force of forward flight = 15 N
Force of oncoming wind = -10 N (opposite direction)
Force of gravity = 5 N (downward)
Force of propeller = 10 N (upward)
The net force is the sum of all the forces:
Net force = Forward flight force + Oncoming wind force + Gravity force + Propeller force
Net force = 15 N + (-10 N) + 5 N + 10 N
Net force = 20 N
Therefore, the net force acting on the toy helicopter is 20 N.
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
