Why would an aircraft be unable to fly on the moon ?
Advertisements
उत्तर
Air is necessary for an aircraft to be able to fly. Aircraft cannot fly on moon in the absence of air as the pressure difference between the upper and lower part of the wing is required for producing lift. Moreover, air is also necessary to burn the fuel of the plane.

A man wearing a bullet-proof vest stands still on roller skates. The total mass is 80 kg. A bullet of mass 20 grams is fired at 400 m/s. It is stopped by the vest and falls to the ground. What is then the velocity of the man?
The rockets work on the principle of conservation of :
Suppose a ball of mass m is thrown vertically upward with an initial speed v, its speed decreases continuously till it becomes zero. Thereafter, the ball begins to fall downward and attains the speed v again before striking the ground. It implies that the magnitude of the initial and final momentums of the ball are the same. Yet, it is not an example of conservation of momentum. Explain why?
