The automatic flag raising system on a horizontal flagpole attached to the vertical outside wall of a tall building has become stuck. The management of the building wants to send a person crawling out along the flagpole to fix the problem. Because of your physics knowledge, you have been asked to consult with a group to decide whether or not this is possible. You are all too aware that no one could survive the 250 foot fall from the flagpole...

Two trains are approaching each other on adjacent tracks each running with a constant velocity of 10 m/s. When they are at a distance of 90 m, a bird flying right with one of the train engines decides to go ahead towards the other train with double the speed of the train. As soon as it reaches the other train, it turns around without landing and flies back to the train it started from. How many times can the bird...
