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.

For the answer to the question above,
we can get the number of fringes by dividing (delta t) by the period of the light (Which is λ/c). 

fringe = (delta t) / (λ/c) 

We can find (delta t) with the equation: 

delta t = [v^2(L1+L2)]/c^3 

Derivation of this formula can be found in your physics text book. From here we find (delta t): 

600,000^2 x (11+11) / [(3x10^8)^3] = 2.93x10^-13 

2.93x10^-13/ (589x10^-9 / 3x10^8) = 149 fringes 

This answer is correct but may seem large. That is because of your point of reference with the ether which is usually at rest with respect to the sun, making v = 3km/s.

a battery of 9v is connected in series with resistors of 0.2ohm , 0.3ohm, 0.5ohm, and 5 ohm respectively. how much current would
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

1.5 A

Explanation:

Applying

V = IR'....................... Equation 1

make I the subject of the equation

I = V/R'.................. Equation 2

Where V = Voltage, I = current, R' = Total resistance.

From the question,

In a series connection,

R' = 0.2+0.3+0.5+5 = 6 ohm.

Given: V = 9V

Substitute into equation 2

I = 9/6

I = 1.5 A.

Note: Since all the resistors are connected in series, thesame current flows through them

Therefore the current flowing through the 5 ohm resistor = 1.5 A

uppose the bottom block has a mass of 0.4 kg and the top block has a mass of 0.1 kg. What force do you need to exert (in newtons
notsponge [240]

Answer:

 F = 0

Explanation:

Newton's second law is

         F = ma

As in this case the two blocks move with constant speed, it implies that the acceleration is zero, therefore the force applied to the system is zero

       F = 0
