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?
-
YEs its still on the truck they dont unload and the chickens dont fly away
-
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.

Correct!
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.

You miss my sarcasm :P
-
the real question is, how did you get that elephant in with all those chickens?
-
You miss my sarcasm :P
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
