An empty semi-truck sits on the scale of a weighing station. It is then loaded with 100 irritated pigeons. These two events then

happen in sequence. a) First, the super irritated pigeons just stand on the floor of the truck. b) Second, they take flight inside the truck. They all fly in the enclosed space such that they do not collide with each other or the walls/ceiling/floor. Is the reading on the scale different in a) versus b)? Does the reading on the scale change during the transition of these events?

Answer:

The reading in the scale is going to be the same, or if it experiences some change it would be minimum. The reason is because the truck will act as a big closed cage, therefore, when the pigeons fly, the air they move with their wings in order to keep flying,  exerts the same force on the closed cage, that if they were standing on the ground.

If the truck however, allows the air flow, the weight might change, because under this scenario, the air flowing could represent less force exerted on the balance.

vredina [299]

A car is built from various subsystems. If these subsystems are not working properly it is dangerous because it can cause a serious traffic accident.

<h3>What subsystems do cars have?</h3>

When you're testing the build of a car, you have to check its many subsystems:

  • the battery
  • the engine
  • the cabin
  • the thermal-management system
  • the gearbox
  • the chassis
  • the suspension

<h3>Why is a car with damaged subsystems dangerous?</h3>

The subsystems of a car are very important components that allow the proper functioning of the car. These subsystems work synchronously making the car work properly.

However, if one of these subsystems is not working properly it could cause a malfunction that could lead to a traffic accident.

A Ping-Pong ball has a mass of 2.3 g and a terminal speed of 9.4 m/s. The drag force is of the form bv^2 What is the value of b?
julia-pushkina [17]
Drag Force = bv^2 = ma; a = g = 9.81 m/s^2

b = mg/v^2 = (0.0023×9.81)/(9.4^2)

b = 0.000255
