A bottle lying on the windowsill falls off and takes 4.95 seconds to reach the ground. The distance from the windowsill to the g

round is 120.00 meters. Find the time the bottle would take to land if it were to fall the same distance on the moon instead of Earth.

The distance an object falls from rest through gravity is

                         D  =  (1/2) (g) (t²)

            Distance  =  (1/2 acceleration of gravity) x (square of the falling time)

We want to see how the time will be affected
if  ' D ' doesn't change but ' g ' does.
So I'm going to start by rearranging the equation
to solve for ' t '.

                                                      D  =  (1/2) (g) (t²)

Multiply each side by  2 :         2 D  =            g    t² 

Divide each side by ' g ' :      2 D/g =                  t²

Square root each side:        t = √ (2D/g)


Looking at the equation now, we can see what happens
to ' t ' when only ' g ' changes: 

-- ' g ' is in the denominator; so bigger 'g' ==> shorter 't'
                                             and smaller 'g' ==> longer 't' .

-- They don't change by the same factor, because  1/g  is inside
the square root.  So 't' changes the same amount as  √1/g  does.

Gravity on the surface of the moon is roughly  1/6  the value
of gravity on the surface of the Earth.

So we expect ' t ' to increase by  √6  =  2.45 times.

It would take the same bottle  (2.45 x 4.95) = 12.12 seconds
to roll off the same window sill and fall 120 meters down to the
surface of the Moon.

Answer:

Use a faster than normal approach and landing speed.

Explanation

For pilots, it is one of the critical moments of the flight that concentrates 12% of fatal accidents. The main difficulty lies in reaching enough speed to take flight within the space of the runway. At present, it ceased to be a challenge for the aircraft, since the engine power improved, so the takeoff ceased to be the most dangerous moment of the flight.

One of the risks that aircraft face today is that some of the engines fail while the plane accelerates. In that case, the pilot must decide in an instant whether it is better to take flight and solve the problem in the air or if it is preferable not to take off.

Although for many staying on the ground might seem the most sensible option, it is not as simple as it seems: to suddenly decelerate an aircraft, with the weight it has and the speed it reaches can cause accidents. However, today a special cement was designed that runs around the runways of the airports, which when coming into contact with the wheels of the aircraft the ground breaks and helps to slow down.

MAVERICK [17]
Except when necessary for takeoff and landing, <span>the minimum safe altitude required for a pilot to operate an aircraft over other than congested area is an altitude of 1000 ft above the highest obstacle within a 2000 ft horizontal radius of the aircraft.

It is also good to know that apart from taking off and landing, the aircraft must not operate at a distance less than 500 ft from any person, vessel, structure or vehicle.</span>

Sound wave cannot propagate through vacuum.Why?<br>Plz give reason in short....​
Olenka [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

If a perfect vacuum existed in any volume, then no sound would be able to propagate through it, because a sound wave is a pressure wave, and there would be identically zero pressure. Of course, we could get into speculations about “dark energy” or “vacuum energy” supporting pressure waves, but let’s not go there.
