    Problem : A bird falls from a tree of 20m height. It reaches to ground in 2sec. A bear sees it from a distance of 40m and run to catch it, reaches in 4sec. What is the visible color of the bear?

      The bear is white, because the acceleration due to gravity is closest to 10 m/s^2 at the North Pole.

      No body saw it, because the bear is the one who who saw the falling  bird. another answer, is if the bear is in north pole, maybe its white. if it is in the jungle, maybe brown

      hmm, was wondering about this mechanical problem on my way home, I must say I am a little disappointed at the answer, maybe its one of those "insider" jokes that only makes sense when you assume a degree in physics. I for one would never have even thought about the speed of the bird falling, but then I did have the same argument as Scott regarding trees on the north pole, but I guess the velocity of the bird is a much clearer give away.

      Anyhow... here's a quick riddle for you (not nearly as complicated):... why do polar bears eat seals and fish but never penguins?

      1. profile image0

        Because there are no penguins in the North Pole only the southern arctic

    A bear does not change color so it would be the same as when it set off. Was it a polar bear, black bear, or brown bear? Did the bird fly away as the bear would have been 2secs too late. Did the bird die? Did the bear eat it? Maybe the polar bear would look a little red around the mouth. I hate these riddles.

    The bear can't run that fast, so it's a moot question.  I think that's the right answer, or the sought-after answer, looking back at the other posts.

    It seems silly, though, like one of those papers with 90 instructions listed, and the first instruction is "read all the instructions before you begin", then it goes, take five, add two hundred, next instruction:  divide by five, next instruction:  multiply by seven...until you get to the last instruction, which says, "disregard all the instructions except for #1."

    The bear is the same color as the tree trunk and when he saw the bird fall he had to climb down 10m, which took him 4 seconds. However, the bird hadn't hit the ground before the bear started climbing down so the time of the bird falling and the bear climbing down were overlapped.

    I was way out in the hinterland.  I had that thought of acceleration due to gravity but connected it in a different way to the bear.  I still had the answer "white", but not any where near a justifiable reason.

          I'm color blind.  I only see in black or white.  The visible spectrum of light varies at the Poles, and at the North there is total brightness.  In the summer the bear would be yellowish, because of oxidation, or greenish due to algal growth.  Black is the skin color, and it could reflect white.

    Umm, so the difference between 9.78 m/s2 on equator and 9.82 m/s2 on any pole is enough for that? Frankly does not make much sense to me. This difference is way less than the one between 10.0 and 9.82... If this is really the answer, i would say quite silly quiz...

      It's a generalization, but yes the difference in gravity would affect the maximum velocity enough to make a difference.

        Seriously? Just a hint - for that to make anything close to sense, this bird had to fall from 19.64m. Maximum 19.67m. Now figure out why smile

        Oh, and there are no trees of that height where polar bears live, that's another hint from Scott to question idiocy. If you make a distinction between polar bear and grizzly, you have to take their habitat into account, too. smile

          Like I said, it's a generalization (not exact), and yes it does make a difference.  Look at how to launch a space shuttle.  I already addressed Scott's post to Flightkeeper, and there was nothing wrong with what he said.  I don't need to "figure it out"  Here's a hint, I already did.

          Yes, exactly, it relates GOD and to revelations the beginning and the end.

    You spoilsport, Scott!

    I reckon that you should provide us with a riddle, now big_smile

    Preferably one that is not a physics 'in' joke.

    Ok here is a simple riddle. If  very big basket is being filled up with candies and it takes 1 hour to fill it up. Rate of filling is that, the number of candies inside the basket doubles every minute. how long it will take for the basket to be quarter full?

    1. Lee Boolean profile image60
      Lee Booleanposted 14 years agoin reply to this

      I think I have this one... 58 minutes since the basket is full in 1 hour, and the quantity is doubled every minute, i.e. 60= full, 59= half full, 58 = quarter full....

      did I win anything?

    Oops. I can't believe I missed this thread. I hope I'm not too late. Just want to share an answer (without the math).

    When I looked at the post, the first thing that came to my mind was "green." Yes. Not that I'm green, but that if there was a tree, and a bird fell from a tree (perhaps a young one, trying to fly from its nest), and that a tree with a nest is absurd without its leaves, then the bear, even if painted blue by its owner ('cause a bear wouldn't run that fast without a trainer), will look green if you're looking from above ('cause the bear would have run for you instead if you're on land).

    Does this count? Or am I imagining too much? Or assuming too much?

      The answer was focused toward physics and not philosophy, but all answers count.

      The bird in the tree falling was used to calculate the gravity of the place where the bear and bird were.  When you calculate the gravity it is closer to 10 m/s^2, which is at the North Pole.  A bear at the North Pole would be white.  The numbers used were nice and easy, so one could do the calculations easy.  The actual gravity at the North Pole is not 10 m/s^2, but closer to that than anywhere else.

      y=20m
      t=2s

      x=40m
      t=4s


      V^2=Vo^2 + 2(a)(y)


      x/t=Vx

      y=V-Vo/2 * (t)

      V=0 because the bird hit the ground

        Yeah I know, eddigity; I read through the entire thread. Just wanted to share a different perspective. smile But thanks for taking the time to respond.

    My guess is the bear would appear as a gray streak because the eye can only receive so much visual information at one time. Brown being a blended color and not a primary color might also attribute to the color distortion. If the bear were Red, Blue or Yellow, the eye would have less information to process and therefore see it in its natural color.

    Who cares?

    The fact that the bear is running at 36 kph would mean that I for one would have got the hell out of there pronto.

    i cant remember pass word.
    anyway, if the bird can fall vertically twice as fast as the bear can run horozontally that could be called in a mecanical term as a two to one compound ratio. but that is only part of that type of posible mech. nominclacture. somewhere it must be associated with an accual "visible" color posibly ryming with a mech. formula? am i warm\cold?

    If the bird falls to the ground in 2 seconds, it couldn't have been at the top of the tree - so it didn't fall very far.

    Polar bears see well but don't live where trees do. Not white.

    Brown bears live where trees are but are considered to have the poorest bear eyesight (although this is challenged by some). Not brown.

    Black bears see well enough to spot a falling bird at 40m and live where there are trees.

    My ans is "Black."

    The bird fell from 19.6m high.
    The colour is Black.
    And it was not a bear.
    It was Usain Bolt. haha !
