In the first direct detection of gravitational waves by LIGO in 2015, the waves came from the merger of two black holes. Option B is correct. This is further explained below.

<h3>What are gravitational waves?</h3>

A gravitational wave is simply defined as a ripple in space that is unseen though extremely rapid. Gravitational waves move at light speed. As they pass past, these waves compress and stretch everything in their path.

In conclusion, the merger of two black holes is the first direct detection of gravitational waves.

Can someone explain it with steps?

Anton [14]

Answer:

Option C is the correct answer

Explanation:

Distance travelled by car during reaction time

$=15\times0.4\\\\=6m$

The car stopped before hitting the animal by $1 m$

Distance travelled during deceleration is $21-6-1=14m$

Hence by $v^2=u^2+2as$

We have

$0^2=15^2+2 \cdot a \cdot 14\\\\a=\frac{-225}{28} \\\\=-8.03m/s^2$

Option C is the correct answer

During its lifespan, what characteristics of the sun will change

4vir4ik [10]

During its lifepsan, the sun's core would keep contracting and heating up.

The temperature will keep increasing to the point where the temperature outside the core will get to hydrogen fusion temperatures.
The sun will grow in surface and eventually became the Red Giant

A 0.10 g honeybee acquires a charge of +23 pC while flying.

kari74 [83]

Answer:

a) $\frac{F}{w} =2.347\times 10^{-6}\ N$

b) $E=4.2609\times 10^7\ N.C^{-1}$ parallel to the earth surface.

In this case according to the Fleming's left hand rule the direction of movement of bee must be in a direction parallel to the earth surface and perpendicular to the electric field at the same time.

Explanation:

Given:

mass of the bee, $m=10^{-4}\ kg$

charge acquired by the bee, $q_2=23\times 10^{-12}\ C$

a.

Electrical field near the earth surface, $E=100\ N.C^{-1}$

Now the electric force on the bee:

we know:

$F=\frac{1}{4\pi.\epsilon_0} \times \frac{q_1.q_2}{r^2}$

$F=E.q_2$

$F=100\times 23\times 10^{-12}$

$F=23\times 10^{-10}\ N$

The weight of the bee:

$w=m.g$

$w=10^{-4}\times 9.8$

$w=9.8\times10^{-4}\ N$

Therefore the ratio :

$\frac{F}{w} =\frac{23\times 10^{-10}}{9.8\times10^{-4}}$

$\frac{F}{w} =2.347\times 10^{-6}\ N$

b.

The condition for the bee to hang is its weight must get balanced by the electric force acing equally in the opposite direction.

So,

$F=9.8\times10^{-4}\ N$

$E.q_2=9.8\times10^{-4}\ N$

$E\times 23\times 10^{-12}=9.8\times10^{-4}\ N$

$E=4.2609\times 10^7\ N.C^{-1}$ parallel to the earth surface.

In this case according to the Fleming's left hand rule the direction of movement of bee must be in a direction parallel to the earth surface and perpendicular to the electric field at the same time.

Can a goalkeeper at his goal kick a soccer ball into the opponent’s goal without the ball touching the ground? The distance will

zmey [24]

The goalkeeper at his goal cannot kick a soccer ball into the opponent’s goal without the ball touching the ground

Explanation:

Consider the vertical motion of ball,

We have equation of motion v = u + at

Initial velocity, u = u sin θ

Final velocity, v = 0 m/s

Acceleration = -g

Substituting

v = u + at

0 = u sin θ - g t

$t=\frac{usin\theta }{g}$

This is the time of flight.

Consider the horizontal motion of ball,

Initial velocity, u = u cos θ

Acceleration, a =0 m/s²

Time, $t=\frac{usin\theta }{g}$

Substituting

s = ut + 0.5 at²

$s=ucos\theta \times \frac{usin\theta }{g}+0.5\times 0\times (\frac{usin\theta }{g})^2\\\\s=\frac{u^2sin\theta cos\theta}{g}\\\\s=\frac{u^2sin2\theta}{2g}$

This is the range.

In this problem

u = 30 m/s

g = 9.81 m/s²

θ = 45° - For maximum range

Substituting

$s=\frac{30^2\times sin(2\times 45)}{2\times 9.81}=45.87m$

Maximum horizontal distance traveled by ball without touching ground is 45.87 m, which is less than 95 m.

So the goalkeeper at his goal cannot kick a soccer ball into the opponent’s goal without the ball touching the ground
