ost_uid0="viper2040"]how bad do you want us to solve this?

cause this is getting into calculus...the biggest problem (besides the fact that i can barely remember calc) is that when the bird takes off, his path to the other train will actuall be a curve, because the other train is moving...

You forgot, by the way, to mention whether the bird lands at full speed, and whether, upon take off, he is instantly at full speed. If you want a good answer, you gotta tell us this stuff...and if im gonna solve this, i hope to god you got a reason for asking us...

Before posting this kind of problem, try to provide ALL releveant information...

and that is NOT physics, by the way....if it was truely a physics question, the answer would be that the bird would be unable to land on a full speed train because of its sheer velocity.[/quote]
Ahhh.. now you're the one bringing more Physics into it... :biggrin:
Honestly.. it's a simple question...
Do not bother yourself with it's sheer velocity or whether a bird can really do that or not...
Just be open minded and look at the facts! :biggrin:
