The particles are making no motion at all.
Force = change in momentum / time, Force in opposite direction so negative
-1.41 x 10⁶ = (p₂ - 3.87 x 10⁷) / 9.55
p₂ = 2.52 x 10⁷ Ns
Helped us in modern days do to his contribution to the study of motion back in the day is what helpes us know how to study motion.
The specific heat of mercury is 149.4 J/(kgK)
Explanation:
When a substance is supplied with an amount of energy Q, its temperature increases according to the equation:

where
is the increase in temperature
m is the mass of the sample
is its specific heat capacity
For the sample of mercury in this problem we have
Q = 275 J
m = 0.450 kg

Therefore, by re-arranging the equation we find the mercury's specific heat:
