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.

Why is earth the only planet on which water exists in a liquid state
Gennadij [26K]
This is due to earths location in the solar system. Earth is in the habitat zone or the Goldie locks zone, in this zone it's not too hot or not too cold for water to exist. Other planets in different star systems have liquid oceans due to them being in the habitat zone.

A pickup truck is traveling down the highway at a steady speed of 30.1 m/s. The truck has a drag coefficient of 0.45 and a cross
Sav [38]

Answer:

The energy that the truck lose to air resistance per hour is 87.47MJ

Explanation:

To solve this exercise it is necessary to compile the concepts of kinetic energy because of the drag force given in aerodynamic bodies. According to the theory we know that the drag force is defined by

F_D=\frac{1}{2}\rhoC_dAV^2

Our values are:

V=30.1m/s

C_d=0.45

A=3.3m^2

\rho=1.2kg/m^3

Replacing,

F_D=\frac{1}{2}(1.2)(0.45)(3.3)(30.1)^2

F_D=807.25N

We need calculate now the energy lost through a time T, then,

W = F_D d

But we know that d is equal to

d=vt

Where

v is the velocity and t the time. However the time is given in seconds but for this problem we need the time in hours, so,

W=(807.25N)(30.1m/s)(3600s/1hr)

W=87.47*10^6J (per hour)

Therefore the energy that the truck lose to air resistance per hour is 87.47MJ
