Answer:

The Principia was eventually published in 1687. After publishing the work, the Royal Society told Halley it could no longer afford his salary and offered to pay him in unsold copies of the Historia Piscium instead.

Explanation:

But the Royal Society refused to fund the book because it had suffered huge financial losses publishing 'The History of Fish', an indigestible tome of piscine anatomy which barely sold and nearly bankrupted the institution.

BartSMP [9]

In collision type of problems since momentum is always conserved

we can say

$m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = m_1 v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}$

So here along with this equation we also required one more equation for the restitution coefficient

$v_{2f} - v_{1f} = e(v_{1i} - v_{2i})$

so above two equations are required to find the velocity after collision

here the change in velocity occurs due to the contact force while they contact in each other

so this is the impulse of collision while they are in contact with each other while in collision which changes the velocity of two colliding objects

a baby carriage is sitting at the top of a hill that is 21m high. the carriage with the baby weighs 25kg. calculate the speed th

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

Velocity = 20.3 [m/s]

Explanation:

This is a typical problem of energy conservation, where potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. We must first find the potential energy. In this way, we will choose as a reference point or point where the potential energy is zero when the carrriage rolls down 21 [m] from the top of the hill.

$E_{p} =m*g*h\\ where:\\m = mass = 25[kg]\\g = gravity = 9.81 [m/s^2]\\h = elevation = 21 [m]\\E_{p} =potential energy [J]\\E_{p} =25*9.81*21=5150[J]$

Now this will be the same energy transformed into kinetic energy, therefore:

$E_{p}=E_{k} = 5150[J]\\E_{k} =0.5*m*v^{2} \\where:\\v=velocity [m/s]\\v=\sqrt{\frac{E_{k}}{0.5*25} } \\v=20.3[m/s]$
