A hunter is hunting for bears. He spots one at the edge of a cliff. The cliff is w metres high. He is x metres away from the bear. He shoots at the bear. The bullet travels at y metres/second. After the bullet hits the bear, the bear falls off the cliff after z seconds.
Keep in mind that the values for distance,velocity and time are extremely accurate.
What color is the bear?
Some info are there to confuse you.You only need the height of the cliff and the time it took the dead bear to hit the ground.
You can use the free drop acceleration formula to calculate the gravitational pull
d=1/2.g.t^2
d=height of cliff
t=time it took the bear to drop to the ground.
Knowing that the value of the gravitational pull varies at the equator and the poles (9.789 m·s?2 at the equator to 9.832 m·s?2 at the poles) then if the value of g is close to 9.789 then the hunter was hunting at one of the poles and the bear would be a polar bear, hence white.
If the value was between those two above, then if would be a brown bear(no bears at the equator).
Next riddle is a kind of silly riddle:
Assuming that Earth is a sphere of ice, then how can you get to the north pole?(It has nothing to do with means of transportation.Just looking for a way to figure out how I can be sure that I m going to reach the north pole)
First two spoilers are hints
Suppose you know where the south pole is
You can only travel in straight lines.That means you cant swerve while traveling.You have to stop and make a turn(rotate) and then continue on a straight line
