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

Physics
1 answer:
Gemiola [76]3 years ago
8 0

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.

How much power does it take to lift 30.0 N 10.0 m high in 5.00 s?
Rudik [331]

Power = work/time = (Force times distance)/time

= (30N *10.0m)/5.00s = 300/5 = 60 Watts

Why do atoms like carbon and nitrogen not like to make ions, while sodium and chlorine do?
krok68 [10]
Atoms like carbon and nitrogen do not form ions because the electronegativity of these atoms are not that high nor very low which means electrons are fairly stable in the atom. While chlorine has very high electronegativity and for sodium very low, atoms tend to receive or release electrons.

To stretch a certain nonlinear spring by an amount x requires a force F given by F = 40 x − 6 x 2 , where F is in Newtons and x
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

64 J

Explanation:

The potential energy change of the spring ∆U = -W where W = work done by force, F.

Now W = ∫F.dx

So, ∆U = - ∫F.dx = - ∫Fdxcos180 (since the spring force and extension are in opposite directions)

∆U = - ∫-Fdx

=  ∫F.dx

Since F = 40x - 6x² and x moves from x = 0 to x = 2 m, we integrate thus, ∆U =  ∫₀²F.dx

=  ∫₀²(40x - 6x²).dx

=  ∫₀²(40xdx - 6x²dx)

=  ∫₀²(40x²/2 - 6x³/3)

=  ∫₀²(20x² - 2x³)

= [20x² - 2x³]₀²

= [(20(2)² - 2(2)³) - (20(0)² - 2(0)³)

= [(20(4) - 2(8)) - (0 - 0))

= [80 - 16 - 0]

= 64 J

In a simple electric circuit, ohm's law states that v=irv=ir, where vv is the voltage in volts, ii is the current in amperes, an
Tju [1.3M]
We take the derivative of Ohm's law with respect to time: V = IR
Using the product rule:
dV/dt = I(dR/dt) + R(dI/dt)
We are given that voltage is decreasing at 0.03 V/s, resistance is increasing at 0.04 ohm/s, resistance itself is 200 ohms, and current is 0.04 A. Substituting:
-0.03 V/s = (0.04 A)(0.04 ohm/s) + (200 ohms)(dI/dt)
dI/dt = -0.000158 = -1.58 x 10^-4 A/s
