Why a space shuttle take off vertically?
Because if it took off horizontally, it would continue to circle the earth, hitting all those people in the boats that are watching the take-off, then continue until it came to a land mass and possibly strike buildings, vehicles, people...until it exploded into a fireball of great magnitude. So, to avoid this, NASA decided to have the shuttles take off vertically. < It takes off vertically to reach less dense air ( less drag and aerodynamic heating ), and then begins a pitch maneuver to increase its tangential ( to the Earth) velocity; which eventually leads to a continuous orbit about the Earth. This procedure reduces the necessary on board mass of propellant on the spacecraft. The shuttle is essentially in free fall around the Earth ( imagine a cannon being fired at such a speed that it as it falls, the curvature of the Earth decreases in a proportional manner).>
When earth shadow falls on the moon does this cause a solar eclipse?
No, when the moon's shadow falls on the earth, this is a solar eclipse. When the earth's shadow falls on the moon, it is a lunar eclipse.
Is slenderman in gravity falls?
No.
Can air pressure falls drastically at high altitude?
Air pressure falls of as one gains altitude. At high altitude the air pressure is very low but it does not "falls drastically", which implies a sudden change.
When the sun falls on an object it forms a?
Shadow?
How high can a tiger be trained to jump vertically?
Question is not clear. Vertically down or up? Up -> may be to 16ft, I guess.. Down -> depends on where it falls from
Why does the vertically falling rain make the front wind screen of the moving car wet?
The car is running into the rain as it falls.
Removing the restrictor on a moen shower head?
Sometimes you have to drill them out by drilling from the bottom so the excess falls out of the head vertically.
Does rain fall vertically?
Not always. Rain often falls diagonally due to the wind. In very strong wind rain can be nearly horizontal.
What group number is carbon?
Groups run vertically in a periodic table and Carbon falls under group IV.
Where is sun rays falls vertically on the earth?
Sun rays fall vertically on the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn twice a year during the summer solstice and winter solstice, respectively. This is when these locations experience either the longest or shortest day of the year.

A ball tossed vertically upward rises reaches its highest point and then falls back to its starting point during this time the acceleration is always?
Pointed towards the ground
What would Justin Bieber rather date a chubby or thin girls?

Why the frozen pack is placed at the top of the box rather than at the bottom?
Cold air falls and warm air rises
How does velocity varies with the vertical distance traveled by the object?
When an object falls vertically downward, its velocity increases according to the following equation:2aS=vf2 - vi2 or ,2*10*S=v2, orv=(20S)1/2.There is a second case in which a body is thrown vertically upward, here its velocity decreases as it moves upward. Here its velocity becomes zero as it reaches the highest point
Can airliner jet glide without fuel?
to a certain degree yes but it may probably go into stall. A glide is when an aircraft or object travels horizontally while dropping vertically. If it doesn't glide, then it drops vertically---i.e. a rock. If it can travel horizontally the same distance as the distance it falls, this is referred to as a 1:1 (one-to-one) glide slope. Many aircraft can not do this and will drop faster than they fly forward.
