Question

If you put a flying hummingbird in a speeding bus, would the bird stay still or fall to the back of the bus?

Answer 1

try it

Answer 2

I think that Animal Rescue or The Audubon Society would be after you for animal cruelty. The poor hummingbird would not be happy in a bus! Let it out to fly free! Ask a scientist! Bye!

Answer 3

It would fly around inside the bus, because its atmosphere had changed to the atmosphere inside the bus, so unless there were no windows (causing wind to force the bird in a certain direction) the bird would fly around normally.

Answer 4

I believe it would fly to the front of the bus. Just like if you were in a speeding bus and you started running up the aisle- you would get to the front. Since you are on the bus, you are traveling the same speed as it.

Answer 5

Depends if the bus starts at rest, or if the bus is already moving while the bird is in it.

When you are riding in a bus, when the bus accelerates from rest, you feel like you are being pushed backwards. Its inertia, everything wants to do what it is already doing. You were at rest, and you want to stay at rest. But once the bus is moving constant speed, and you are standing straight up, you will not fall to the back, since you are now moving at the same speed as the bus. Now if the bus starts slowing down, you will feel like you're being thrown forwards, because you are still moving at the speed that the bus was moving before it started to slow down.

Answer 6

Go back to Physic....

it will explain to you.....

when u stand on the bus...... still does u fall back to the end of the bus???

Answer 7

The momentum of the bus would be applied equally to that of the bird.
