What is a good excuse to stay out late?
Well I am a teen and i stay out late and i use excuses so my main one is name a bunch of friends that your parents trust or like and then say there staying out for a while. Then your parents will normally ask when is a while then you say I dont know I will call you ok? THAT IS HOW!
That is the original answer. I would try saying that a close (and parent trusted friend) is having a hard time with a loss (family or girlfriend/boyfriend) and wants/needs you. You could also say that you are having problems in a certain subject in school and you and some friends are going to pull an all nighter studying for that subject together.
Windmills stay put. The tower does not move.
The blades rotate when wind blows. Most modern wind turbines are made to start producing electrical energy when the wind blows at 3 or 4 meters per second, they achieve maximum (rated) power production in winds around 8 meters per second and shut down when the winds reach 25 meters per second. The 50 meter long (100 m diameter) blades of a 2 MW turbine rotate at about 14 rpm when the wind is 8 m/s; the tips of the blades are then moving at about 75 m/s.
