Alarge truck is crossing a bridge 1 mile long. the bridge can only hold 14000 lbs, which is the exact weight of the truck. the truck makes it half way across the bridge and stops. a bird lands on the truck. does the bridge collapse?

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 :)

  

No, it does not collapse. Because it has driven a half mile - you would subtract the gas used from the total weight of the truck.

Velocity=total displacement/timefrom house to store is 500 from store to neighbor is 200 therefore total displacement=500+200=700metrestherefore,700metres/910seconds=0.8metres per second
