Band Camp

Mogmatt's marching band played their show and then listened to it. They played the show almost perfectly and yet when they listened to it, it was all messed up. How could that have happened?

Ans

The band was hearing their echo. Because they were marching at the time, they were all different distances from the wall and their echoes played at different times.

Bird on the Moon

If a light oxygen tank were tied to a bird so that it can breathe on the moon, would the bird fly faster, slower or the same speed as it does on earth? (Remember that there is less gravity on the moon)

Ans

A bird cannot fly on the moon because there is no air to suspend it.
