Ahummingbird is hovering motionless beside a flower. the blur of its wings shows that they are rapidly beating up and down. if the air pushes upward on the bird with a force of 0.25 n, what is the force exerted on the air by the hummingbird? if the force of the bird on the air is downward, enter a negative value and if it is upward, enter a positive value.

-0.25 N

Explanation:

We are given that a humming bird  is hovering motionless beside a flower.

Force applied on bird by air=0.25 N

We have to find the force exerted on the air by the humming bird.

We are given that bird is motionless

Then , force applied on the bird by air= Force applied on the air by bird (Newton's third law)

Therefore, force applied on the bird=0.25 N.

It is downward force due to gravity.Hence, the force applied on air by bird=-0.25 N

its a 5.5 n
