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.

Natali [406]

Complete Question

A power supply has an open-circuit voltage of 40.0 V and an internal resistance of 2.00 $\Omega$ . It is used to charge two storage batteries connected in series, each having an emf of 6.00 V and internal resistance of 0.300 $\Omega$ . If the charging current is to be 4.00 A, (a) what additional resistance should be added in series? At what rate does the internal energy increase in (b) the supply, (c) in the batteries, and (d) in the added series resistance? (e) At what rate does the chemical energy increase in the batteries?

Answer:

a

The additional resistance is $R_z = 4.4 \Omega$

b

The rate at which internal energy increase at the supply is $Z_1 = 32 W$

c

The rate at which internal energy increase in the battery is $Z_1 = 32 W$

d

The rate at which internal energy increase in the added series resistance is $Z_3 = 70.4 W$

e

the increase rate of the chemically energy in the battery is $C = 48 W$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The open circuit voltage is $V = 40.0V$

The internal resistance is $R = 2 \Omega$

The emf of each battery is $e = 6.00 V$

The internal resistance of the battery is $r = 0.300V$

The charging current is $I = 4.00 \ A$

Let assume the the additional resistance to to added to the circuit is $R_z$

So this implies that

The total resistance in the circuit is

$R_T = R + 2r +R_z$

Substituting values

$R_T = 2.6 +R_z$

And the difference in potential in the circuit is

$E = V -2e$

=> $E = 40 - (2 * 6)$

$E = 28 V$

Now according to ohm's law

$I = \frac{E}{R_T}$

Substituting values

$4 = \frac{28}{R_z + 2.6}$

Making $R_z$ the subject of the formula

So $R_z = \frac{28 - 10.4}{4}$

$R_z = 4.4 \Omega$

The increase rate of internal energy at the supply is mathematically represented as

$Z_1 = I^2 R$

Substituting values

$Z_1 = 4^2 * 2$

$Z_1 = 32 W$

The increase rate of internal energy at the batteries is mathematically represented as

$Z_2 = I^2 r$

Substituting values

$Z_2 = 4^2 * 2 * 0.3$

$Z_2 = 9.6 \ W$

The increase rate of internal energy at the added series resistance is mathematically represented as

$Z_3 = I^2 R_z$

Substituting values

$Z_3 = 4^2 * 4.4$

$Z_3 = 70.4 W$

Generally the increase rate of the chemically energy in the battery is mathematically represented as

$C = 2 * e * I$

Substituting values

$C = 2 * 6 * 4$

$C = 48 W$

Two steel balls, of masses m1=1.00 kg and m2=2.00 kg, respectively, are hung from the ceiling with light strings next to each ot

Zolol [24]

Answer:

(a) The maximum height achieved by the first ball, m₁ is 0.11 m

(a) The maximum height achieved by the second ball, m₂ ball is 0.44 m

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the first ball, m₁ = 1 kg

mass of the second ball, m₂ = 2 kg

The velocity of the first when released from a height of 1 m before collision;

u₁² = u₀² + 2gh

u₀ = 0, since it was released from rest

u₁² = 2gh

u₁² = 2 x 9.8 x 1

u₁² = 19.6

u₁ = √19.6

u₁ = 4.427 m/s

The velocity of the second ball before collision, u₂ = 0

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum, to determine the velocity of the balls after an elastic collision.

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

where;

v₁ is the final velocity of the first ball after an elastic collision

v₂ is the final velocity of the second ball after an elastic collision

m₁u₁ + m₂(0) = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

m₁u₁ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

1 x 4.427 = v₁ + 2v₂

v₁ + 2v₂ = 4.427

v₁ = 4.427 - 2v₂ ----- equation (1)

one directional velocity;

u₁ + v₁ = u₂ + v₂

u₂ = 0

u₁ + v₁ = v₂

v₁ = v₂ - u₁

v₁ = v₂ - 4.427 ------ equation (2)

Substitute v₁ into equation (1)

v₂ - 4.427 = 4.427 - 2v₂

3v₂ = 4.427 + 4.427

3v₂ = 8.854

v₂ = 8.854 / 3

v₂ = 2.95 m/s (→ forward direction)

v₁ = v₂ - 4.427

v₁ = 2.95 - 4.427

v₁ = - 1.477 m/s

v₁ = 1.477 m/s ( ← backward direction)

Apply the law of conservation of mechanical energy

$mgh_{max} = \frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2$

(a) The maximum height achieved by the first ball (v₁ = 1.477 m/s)

$mgh_{max} = \frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2 \\\\gh_{max} = \frac{1}{2}v_{max}^2\\\\ h_{max} = \frac{1}{2g}v_{max}^2\\\\ h_{max} = \frac{1}{2*9.8}(1.477^2)\\\\ h_{max} = 0.11 \ m$

(b) The maximum height achieved by the second ball (v₂ = 2.95 m/s)

$mgh_{max} = \frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2 \\\\gh_{max} = \frac{1}{2}v_{max}^2\\\\ h_{max} = \frac{1}{2g}v_{max}^2\\\\ h_{max} = \frac{1}{2*9.8}(2.95^2)\\\\ h_{max} = 0.44 \ m$
