Question #2ba09 - Socratic
That’s an unusually small bird, but the physics remains constant. Power, P = F xx v but be careful, in this case the F is weight, w = mxxg [I think there may be a secondary problem underlying this, that the formula above is derived from power = work done / time = E/t = (vecF.vecs cos theta)/t and as the force (gravity) is perpendicular to the velocity (assumed horizontal) no work is done ...
