and testing for decomposition </span>

In explanation, chemical property is a
characteristic of a certain substance came from an outcome due to chemical change
or reaction. In the situation above, more specifically toxicity is involved in
the chemical property/change. Hence, when the object is tested for
decomposition. Like for an example of decomposition simply in metals, rusting. Rusting
a process of degeneration of metals. Here it works the same. Toxicity is how
much damage did a certain entity do to the object. </span>
The instant it was dropped, the ball had zero speed.
After falling for 1 second, its speed was 9.8 m/s straight down (gravity).
Its AVERAGE speed for that 1 second was (1/2) (0 + 9.8) = 4.9 m/s.
Falling for 1 second at an average speed of 4.9 m/s, is covered <em>4.9 meters</em>.
ANYTHING you drop does that, if air resistance doesn't hold it back.
Answer:
Maximum height of rocket = 2538.74 m
Explanation:
We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²
For first 5 seconds
s = 0 x 5 + 0.5 x 40 x 5² = 500 m
Now let us find out time after 5 seconds rocket move upward.
We have the equation of motion v = u + at
After 5 seconds velocity of rocket
v = 0 + 40 x 5 = 200 m/s
After 5 seconds the velocity reduces 9.8m/s per second due to gravity.
Time of flying after 5 seconds

Distance traveled in this 20.38 s
s = 200 x 20.38 - 0.5 x 9.81 x 20.38² = 2038.74 m
Maximum height of rocket = 500 +2038.74 = 2538.74 m
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 :)
