So a tanker truck is hauling 100 chicken and they extrude 12oz. of poop each every hour.  Now The truck is moving at 55mph and it has traveled 500 miles.  Stoping only 3 times for a total of 40 mins.  and one more time for speeding that took a hour.  After the truck get to its destination how much poop is on the road?

None? It's all on the truck still?

My first answer being that they poo in the truck, and not on the road. It's obviously a trick question, and you're not supposed to calculate anything. Although, it seems I may have missed the trick. You don't haul chickens in a tanker truck.

If the tanker truck explodes, how much chicken goo is on the road?

That all depends on how much gets vapourized in the explosion, and how much chicken residu is left..

[PS] The trick question would be: how much has the tanker increased in weight, because of all the poo?  [/PS]

Assuming the container was a closed one and that no extra water or food entered the container, then the total mass would have stayed the same.

the Trick question was why would you haul chickens in a tanker truck hehe.  which hooman already said

Correct!

Probably for the same reason (http://www.forum.outpostuniverse.net/index.php?act=Attach&type=post&id=62198) you'd glue a n00b to a tank.

The mass would be less...because a portion of the food ingested would be turned into chemical energy and disappated as heat...

Umm, that would only really be true in a nuclear reaction when mass is converted to energy. It's also a very small percentage of the mass that gets converted, so you'd need quite a large nuclear reaction to notice any difference in mass, and by that point you probably wouldn't have a truck left.

In normal checmial reactions, mass is preserved.

the real question is, how did you get that elephant in with all those chickens?

And you missed the fact that we're talking about a tanker (which is a closed area, as per the assumption) and since no mass is added: the mass will stay the same.

Although the carbon atoms in the food/chickens will be converted into carbon dioxide and the hydrogen atoms into water (vapour), since it's a closed tanker they will still contribute to the total mass.

pureed chicken dont poop
