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.

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

Explanation:

Momentum conservation

m2v_0+2mv_0=mv_1+2mv_2 \quad (1/m) \quad 4v_0=v_1+2v_2\\

Kinetic energy conservation

\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}m(2v_0)^2+\frac{1}{2}2mv_0^2=\frac{1}{2}mv_1^2+\frac{1}{2}2mv_2^2 \quad (1/m) \quad 6v_0^2=v_1^2+2v_2^2

What is the definition of Mutualism
noname [10]
Mutualism is a long-term relationship where two organisms interact in such a way that both of them benefits from that relationship.

For example, there is a relationship between a bird called "oxpecker", and a rhino. While the bird eats the harmful bugs (eg. tick) on the rhino's skin and relieves its hunger; the rhino gets rid of the bugs that harm it.
