9. A 10Kg bird flies with a horizontal acceleration of 7.5 m/s². The only forces on it are the force of gravity and a force exerted by air. Determine the magnitude of the latter.

(a) A bird, mass 0.076 kg, is gliding at a constant speed through the sky. What upward force (in newtons) must be provided by the wings of the bird? (b) If the bird accelerates from 0 m/s up to 7 m/s in 2 s, what is the acceleration of the bird? (c) If the bird (mass = 0.076 kg) stops with an acceleration of 4.5 m/s^2, what is the net force on the bird to make it stop?

In researching the forces that act on flying birds, scientists studied the motion of cockatiels' bodies as they fly in horizontal flight. As the birds beat their wings, their bodies move up and down. (Figure 1) shows the vertical acceleration of a cockatiel's body during one wing beat, consisting of an upstroke followed by a downstroke. If the bird's mass is 92 g, what is the maximum net vertical force exerted on the bird? The bird is held in level flight due to the force exerted on it by the air as the bird beats its wings. What is the maximum value of this force due to the air?

Figure P4.68 shows the vertical acceleration of a cockatiel's body during one wing beat, consisting of an upstroke followed by a downstroke. a. If the bird's mass is 87 g, what is the maximum net vertical force exerted on the bird? b. The bird is held in level flight due to the force exerted on it by the air as the bird beats its wings. What is the maximum value of this force due to the air?
