Answer:
b) 3.48 N approx.
Step-by-step explanation:
The bird will experience a centripetal force, this is the force exerted on a body that moves through a curve path.
[tex]F_c = \frac{mv^2}{r}[/tex]
Fc=centripetal force
m=mass
v=velocity
r=radius
Step one:
given data
mass of bird m=0.3kg
the radius of curve r= 20m
velocity v= 15 m/s
Substituting we have
[tex]F_c = \frac{0.3*15^2}{20}\\\\F_c= \frac{0.3*225}{20}\\\\ F_c=\frac{67.5}{20}\\\\F_c=3.37N[/tex]
The force is 3.37N
