Unless they rigged something up, the flag would just hang there. So they built a special flagpole expressly for the purpose of making the flag appear to fly. The astronauts would be wearing bulky space suits, so they needed a flagpole that was easy to assemble and to plant in the ground. Plus, the pole had to be portable, and not use up a lot of precious cargo space. So scientists rigged a telescoping pole with a telescoping horizontal crossbar that was supposed to make the flag look as if it were blowing in the wind. The flag itself was standard issue, although the top was hemmed so that the astronauts would be able to slide it over the crossbar. And the entire assembly weighed less than ten pounds. Even so, the astronauts reported having some trouble setting the flag up. They weren't able to stick the pole far enough into the ground, and they weren't able to fully extend the horizontal crossbar. And that explains the rippling effect.

Why does the flag on the moon look like it is waving?
The flag on the moon appears to be waving in photographs because it has a wire sewn into the top edge to keep it extended horizontally. In the vacuum of space, where there is no wind to make it ripple, the flag hangs flat along the wire, giving the illusion of waving.

What do you observe when the end of the copper wire is held in the hottest part of the burner flame for about seconds?
When the end of a copper wire is held in the hottest part of a burner flame for a few seconds, the copper wire will likely change color to a bright green or bluish flame as it undergoes oxidation. This is due to the formation of copper oxide on the surface of the wire from the reaction with oxygen in the flame.
Which apollo mission resulted of three astronauts death?
Apollo 1 resulted in three astronauts's deaths .When the three astronauts came in the space craft the pressure in the cabin was 16 PSI {pounds of pressure per square inch} and the outside pressure was 14 PSI.And ,unfortunately the astronauts had an inward opening hatch which didn't have a handlers was used to keep water out of the module when it splashed down.An electrical problem happened and at 16 PSI every thing burns aluminum wire sealing control pads ...... The astronauts were doomed.
How can I prevent squirrels from digging in newly planted grass?

Do rabbits eat a beech hedge?
Yes they will eat the lower new leaves and ones higher up too if they can get at them. They will also have a chew at the bark and if left to their own devices will ruin a newly planted hedge.

How does the flag wave on the moon?
The flag placed on the moon during the Apollo missions appears to "wave" in photographs and videos due to its design and the movement created during its placement. In the vacuum of space, there is no wind to cause the flag to flutter, so the motion seen is likely from the flag being unfurled and the inertia created by the astronaut handling it.
Why doesn't the US flag on the moon hang down?

Describes what happens when hold a compass close to wire carrying current?
When a compass is held close to a wire carrying current, the magnetic field created by the current induces a magnetic field around the wire. The compass aligns with this magnetic field and its needle will deflect in a direction perpendicular to the wire. This can be used to determine the direction of the current flow in the wire.
