Why couldn't the Royal Society publish Newton's Principia?

Gemiola [76]3 years ago

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.

A transformer consists of a 500 turn primary coil and a 2000-turnsecondary coil. If the current in the secondary is 3.0A, what i
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

The correct solution will be "12.0 A".

Explanation:

The given values are:

N_p= 500 \ turn

N_s= 200 \ turn

I_s= 3.0 \ A

By using the transformer formula, we get

⇒ \frac{N_p}{N_s}  =\frac{I_s}{I_p}

⇒ I_p = I_s\times \frac{N_s}{N_p}

On substituting the given values, we get

⇒      =3.0 \ A\times \frac{2000}{500}

⇒      =12.0 \ A

[I researched for you, since I am not in that particular level to know that knowledge yet. I assure this is accurate info :)]

The answer is A, red.
"Remember, the color you see is light REFLECTING off the surface of that object. If all colors are absorbed in to the surface EXCEPT red, red must be reflected, and you'll see red." - Yahoo User @Chap

When you jump straight up as high as you can, what is the order of magnitude of the maximum recoil speed that you give to the Ea
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

5.66 × 10⁻²³ m/s

Explanation:

If i assume i can jump as high as h = 2 m, my initial velocity is gotten from v² = u² + 2gh. Since my final velocity v = 0, u = √2gh = √(2 × 9.8 × 2) = √39.2 m/s = 6.26 m/s.

Since initial momentum = final momentum,

mv₁ + MV₁ = mv₂ + MV₂ where m, M, v₁, V₁, v₂ and V₂ are my mass, mass of earth, my initial velocity, earth's initial velocity, my final velocity and earth's final velocity respectively.

My mass m = 54 kg, M = 5.972 × 10²⁴ kg, v₁ = 6.26 m/s, V₁ = 0, v₂ = 0 and V₂ = ?

So mv₁ + M × 0 = m × 0 + MV₂

mv₁ = MV₂

V₂ = mv₁/M =  54kg × 6.26 m/s/5.972 × 10²⁴ kg = 338.093/5.972 × 10²⁴ = 56.61 × 10⁻²⁴ m/s = 5.661 × 10⁻²³ m/s ≅ 5.66 × 10⁻²³ m/s

Ber [7]

Answer:

10

Explanation:

Givens

vi = 20 m/s

vf = 60 m/s

t = 4 second.

Formula

a = (vf - vi) / t

a = (60 - 20)/4

a = 40 / 4

a = 10 m/s^2
