Is bird flying is an example of parallelogram law of vector addition?
Answers
Parallelogram law of vector addtion is used to find the movement of the bird.
Flying bird is an example of resultant vectors. As the bird flies, it strikes the air with its wings. According to Newton’s third law of motion, air strikes the wings in opposite directions with the same force in reaction. Therefore, the air strikes the wings in opposite direction, resultant of which is in upward direction which balances the weight of the bird. The direction of flying bird is the resultant vectors of the direction of wind velocity and direction of bird velocity.
Answer:
Yes, the flight of a bird is an example of composition of vectors
Step-by-step explanation:
As the bird flies, it strikes the air with its wings, W side WO. According to Newton's third law of motion, air strikes the wings in opposite directions. The reactions are OA and OB. From law of parallelogram vectors, 0C is the resultant of 0A and OB. This resultant upwards force 0C is responsible for the flight of the bird.
