A large truck is crossing a bridge 1 mile long. The bridge can only hold 14000 lbs, which is the exact weight of the truck. The

truck makes it half way across the bridge and stops. A bird lands on the truck. Does the bridge collapse?

Depends on the weight of the bird.
1) Half a mile is about 800m.
2) 14000 lbs = about 6 tones, same like couple 4WD
3) Fuel consumption is about 20L per 100km or 0.2l each 1km or 0.16L within 800m
4) density of fuel is about 70% of density of water so .... weight of 1.6L of fuel burned would be about 1.6*0.7=1.1 kg

So if birds mass would be below 1 kg - the bridge will not collapse. But if it would be a pelican with the mass of 9kg - it would be a drama :)

No, it does not collapse. Because it has driven a half mile - you would subtract the gas used from the total weight of the truck.

Which statement best describes what is happening at
12345 [234]

Answer:

Water is absorbing heat.

Explanation:

Water is able to absorb heat

-<u> without increasing much in temperature</u> - better than many substances.

This is because for water to increase in temperature, water molecules must be made to move faster within the water; this requires breaking hydrogen bonds, and the breaking of hydrogen bonds absorbs heat.

A 0.140-kg baseball is dropped from rest from a height of 1.8 m above the ground. It rebounds to a height of 1.4 m. What change
aliina [53]

Answer:

\Delta p=-1.56\ kg-m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the baseball, m = 0.14 kg

It is dropped form a height of 1.8 m above the ground. Let u is the velocity when it hits the ground. Using the conservation of energy as :

u=\sqrt{2gh}

h = 1.8 m  

u=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 1.8}

u = 5.93 m/s

Let v is the speed of the ball when it rebounds. Again using the conservation of energy to find it :

v=\sqrt{2gh'}

h' = 1.4 m  

v=-\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 1.4}

v = -5.23 m/s

The change in the momentum of the ball is given by :

\Delta p=m(v-u)

\Delta p=0.14(-5.23-5.93)

\Delta p=-1.56\ kg-m/s

So, the change in the ball's momentum occurs when the ball hits the ground is 1.56 kg-m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

Since toddler's verbal, cognitive, and motor skills are less than those of the average adult; They're behavior might differ. For example, they might not react well to the other children, and hit them- perhaps resulting in crying, and possibly a tantrum.
