A question - A strange bird! - Page 2

<span style='font-size:27pt;line-height:100%'>HOW FAST IS THE BIRD?</span>

Maybe a Faclcon could pull it off if it never got tired...

Gee.. I wonder why it took such a long time to ask :biggrin:
Ok now let me give you the additional clue and... hmm.. let me see
I'll alter some numbers here..
Let's say the whole scenario is the same and the trains are moving at each other at half of the speed said earlier,
They are 60km apart when this strange bird starts it's trajectory
and as the smart one asked.. the bird is flying 60km/h
Now beat that :biggrin:

Meh.. forgive me for double posting.. but really..
No one's still able to get the answer to this question! DAMN :biggrin:

At Each other at half the Speed....

Or away from Each other at half the Speed....

...Wait your changing the numbers so...is the Birds orignal speed of flight 120km..... (0_o)

Kingryu1 · 09-12-2003, 03:46 PM

15 km.. i think

A falcon needs to be in a dive to go that fast, it can't do that for the distance given...

blanka09 · 09-15-2003, 05:34 AM

fine I'll be posting the answer today! :biggrin:

viper2040 · 09-15-2003, 06:30 AM

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.

Yes, the wind shear would be to much for the pour bird.

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:
