The effect of the moon having no air on falling objects is that any thing that is dropped will fall at exactly the same speed regardless of how heavy it is. On earth a feather will fall slowly because friction with the air slows it down, on the moon it will fall like a piece of lead because there is no air to slow it down.

Why don't all falling objects fall at the same speed?

The only reason falling objects don't fall at the same speed on Earth is the countering force of wind resistance. Without air, all objects would fall at the same rate, regardless of mass (ex. Galileo's ball experiments, as well as the hammer and feather experiment on the Moon).


What is the Coroiolis Effect?

The Coriolis Effect is the apparent deflection of moving objects (such as wind and ocean currents) on the Earth's surface due to the planet's rotation. This effect causes objects in the Northern Hemisphere to be deflected to the right, and objects in the Southern Hemisphere to be deflected to the left. The Coriolis Effect is a key factor in influencing global wind patterns and ocean currents.


What Weather Dos This Spell Ofubtaer?

Beaufort this is a scale that indicates the wind speed using the effect wind has on certain familiar objects.


What are the examples of mechanics?

Examples are: - rotation and revolution of the earth - objects that are falling (free fall) - wind turbines waterfall falling rocks bouncing ball boulder on top of a hill


What does the Coriolus effect do?

It deflects wind and other objects. In the Northern Hemishpere it deflects obfects to the right, and in the Southern Hemisphere it deflects objects to the left.


Would there still be waves if there wasn't a moon?

Yes. The creation of waves is unrelated to the Moon. What the Moon creates is tides.


How will wind blowing from the south in the northern hemisphere be affected by the Coriolis effect?

Wind blowing from the south in the northern hemisphere will be deflected to the east due to the Coriolis effect. This is because the Coriolis effect causes objects (including wind) to be deflected to the right in the northern hemisphere. As a result, the wind will curve to the right of its intended path.


What is the meaning of the sentence The wind sang her mournful song through the falling leafs?

The sentence describes the sound of the wind as mournful as it passes through the falling leaves, creating a sad and melancholic atmosphere. It suggests that nature is expressing a sense of sorrow or lament through the sound of the wind.


Is it true that the increased cooling that a wind can cause is called the Coriolis effect?

No, the increased cooling caused by wind is not due to the Coriolis effect. The Coriolis effect is a phenomenon that describes the apparent deflection of moving objects caused by the Earth's rotation. The cooling effect of wind is mainly due to the process of convection and the transfer of heat away from a surface.


What is the Moon's wind like?

The moon has no wind, since it has no atmosphere.


When was The Wind on the Moon created?

The Wind on the Moon was created in 1944.


Does the moon have wind?

No, the moon does not have wind. Wind is the movement of gases in the atmosphere, and the moon does not have a substantial atmosphere like Earth. Instead, the moon has a very thin exosphere composed mainly of helium, neon, and hydrogen.
