That was Johannes Kepler. 

He couldn't say why that should happen.  But he was able to show that
if we <em><u>assume</u></em> the the sun is in the center of the solar system, and <em><u>assume</u></em>
that the planets revolve around the sun in elliptical orbits, and <em><u>assume</u></em> that
the farther a planet is from the sun the longer it takes to orbit the sun, then
<em>that matches everything that we see the planets actually doing in the sky</em>.

Then Isaac Newton came along, and wrote down a short, simple formula
for the force of gravity.  And then he showed that <u>IF</u> his formula for gravity
is correct, then the planets MUST do everything that we see them actually
doing in the sky, and they MUST behave according to Kepler's laws. 

Wotta guy !

How does Kinetic Energy and the Law of Conservation of Momentum apply to inelastic<br> collisions?
Lorico [155]

Answer:

Explanation:

An inelastic collision is one in which the internal kinetic energy changes (it is not conserved) . The two objects come to rest after sticking together, conserving momentum. But the internal kinetic energy is zero after the collision.

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

d = 2*0.87 = 1.75 cm

Explanation:

by using flow rate equation to determine the  speed in larger pipe

\phi =\pi r^2 v

v = \frac{\phi}{\pi r^2}

  = \frac{2900 cm^3/s}{3.14(1.25cm)^2}

= 591.10 cm/s

 = 5.91 m/s

by Bernoulli's EQUATION

p1 +\frac{1}{2} \rho v1^2 = p2 +\frac{1}{2} \rho v2^2

139000+ \frac{1}{2}*1000*5.91^2 = 101000 +\frac{1}{2}*1000* v2^2

solving for v2

v2 = 10.53 m/s

diameter can be determine by using flow rate equation

q = v \pi r^2

r^2 = \frac{q}{\pi v}

     = \frac{2900}{3.14*1053}

r = 0.87 cm

d = 2*0.87 = 1.75 cm

When water vapor is cooled it three forms into water droplets why does this represent a conservation in mass
AVprozaik [17]
In the conservation of mass, mass is never created or destroyed in chemical reactions in the same way water is not created or destroyed it is only transferred from one form to another and its mass is always conserved.

An 8 kg mass moving at 8 m/s collides with a 6 kg mass
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

10 m/s

Explanation:

Momentum before collision = momentum after collision

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

(8 kg)(8 m/s) + (6 kg)(6 m/s) = (8 kg)(5 m/s) + (6 kg) v

64 kg m/s + 36 kg m/s = 40 kg m/s + (6 kg) v

60 kg m/s = (6 kg) v

v = 10 m/s
