Question

a toy helicopter flies forward with a force of 25 n into an oncoming wind of 10 n. the force of gravity pulls the helicopter down with a force of 15 n, but the propeller is providing an upward force of 25 n. which of the following accurately describes the helicopter’s force? (1 point) ○ the toy helicopter is flying forward with a force of 15 n and upward with a force of 10 n. ○ the toy helicopter is flying forward with a force of 10 n and upward with a force of 5 n. ○ the toy helicopter is flying forward with a force of 5 n and upward with a force of 5 n. ○ the toy helicopter is flying forward with a force of 15 n.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate forward net force

Forward force is 25 N, wind force (opposing) is 10 N. Net forward force = \( 25 - 10 = 15 \) N.

Step2: Calculate upward net force

Upward force is 25 N, gravity (downward) is 15 N. Net upward force = \( 25 - 15 = 10 \) N.

Answer:

The toy helicopter is flying forward with a force of 15 N and upward with a force of 10 N.
