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.

What is a gravitational wave and why was it so hard to detect?
Alika [10]

Answer:

gravitational waves are ripples in spece-time caused primarily when objects are accelerated and the energy for the acceleration is transpoted as gravitational radiation.

they are difficult to detect because they require very sensitive technology or you will have to wait unitl black holes collide.

these are the types of attractions found between molecules. their strength determines the state of the substance at room tempera
Elina [12.6K]
<h2>Answer</h2>

The physical state of the elements depends upon the <u>attraction forces </u>and their <u>kinetic energy</u>.

<h2>Explanation</h2>

The elements or substances are fixed with each other with the help of different chemical forces including ionic bonding, covalent bonding, H- bonding etc. The strength of these forces is also one of the factors that affect their physical natures. For example, covalent or ionic bonds are the strongest bonds than all other bonds and metals that contain these forces are mostly in solid form. The kinetic motion of electrons in the element also affects the physical state of the element and potential of bonding.

A car accelerates from rest to a speed 20 m/s in 12 s. Find the distance the car travels this time
Andrew [12]
The first thing we need to do is figure out what equation to use. We will use the following kinematic equation...

Δx = (final velocity + initial velocity) x time / 2

We know that the car accelerates from rest, so initial velocity = 0 m/s
We also know final velocity = 20 m/s and time = 12s

Now we just need to plug everything in.

Δx = (20 x 12)/2 = 120 meters
