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.

blondinia [14]
In physics, work is defined as the total energy when an object is moved to a certain displacement by the application of external force. It is calculated by the expression W = Fd. For this case, the displacement is apparently zero, then there is no work in the system above.

Determine the magnitude of the resultant force FR=F1+F2FR=F1+F2. Assume that F1F1F_1 = 235 lblb and F2F2F_2 = 350 lb
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

<em>585lb</em>

Explanation:

Given the formula for calculating the magnitude of the resultant force as;

F_R = F_1 + F_2

<em>Given </em>

<em></em>F_1 = 235 lb \ and \ F_2 = 350 lb\\F_R = 235lb + 350lb\\F_R = 585lb\\<em></em>

<em>Hence the magnitude of the resultant force is 585lb</em>

A conducting sphere contains positive charge distributed uniformly over its surface. Which statements about the potential due to
stira [4]

Answer:

a. FALSE

b. FALSE

c. TRUTH

d. FALSE

e. FALSE

Explanation:

To determine which statements are truth or false you focus in the following formula, for the electric potential generated by a conducting sphere:

V=\frac{Q}{4\pi \epsilon_o R}      inside the sphere

V'=\frac{Q}{4\pi \epsilon_o r}      for r > R (outside the sphere)

R: radius of the sphere

ε0: dielectric permittivity of vacuum

Q: charge of the sphere

As you can notice, inside the sphere the potential is constant. Inside the sphere, the potential is the same. Outside the surface the potential decreases as 1/r, being r the distance to the center of the sphere.

Hence, you can conclude:

a. The potential at the center of the sphere is zero. FALSE

b.The potential is lowest, but not zero, at the center of the sphere. FALSE

c. The potential at the center of the sphere is the same as the potential at the surface. TRUTH

d. The potential at the center is the same as the potential at infinity. FALSE

e. The potential at the surface is higher than the potential at the center. FALSE
