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.

A satellite of mass m is in a circular orbit of radius R2 around a spherical planet of radius R1 made of a material with density
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

a)      K = 2/3 π G m ρ R₁³ / R₂ ,  b) U = - G m M / r

Explanation:

The law of universal gravitation is

     F = G m M / r²

Part A

Let's use Newton's second law

     F = m a

The acceleration is centripetal

     a = v² / R₂

     

      G m M / R₂² = m v² / R₂

      v² = G M / R₂

They give us the density of the planet

    ρ = M / V

    V = 4/3 π R₁³

    M =   ρ V

    M =   ρ 4/3 π R₁³

    v² = 4/3 π G  ρ R₁³ / R₂

    K = ½ m v²

    K = ½ m (4/3 π G ρ R₁³ / R₂)

    K = 2/3 π G m ρ R₁³ / R₂

Part B

Potential energy and strength are related

     F = - dU / dr

     ∫ dU = - ∫ F. dr

The force was directed towards the center and the vector r outwards therefore there is an angle of 180º between the two cos 180 = -1

    U- U₀ = G m M ∫ dr / r²

    U - U₀ = G m M (- r⁻¹)

We evaluate for

    U - U₀ = -G m M (1 / r_{f} -  1 /r_{i})

They indicate that for ri = ∞     U₀ = 0

    U = - G m M / r

What velocity does a 2kg mass have when its kinetic energy is 16 J
alexandr402 [8]
We can use the equation for kinetic energy, K=1/2mv².
Your given variables are already in the correct units, so we can just plug in the variables and solve for v. 

K = 1/2mv²
16 = 1/2(2)v²
16 = (1)v²
√16 = v
v = 4 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of a 2 kg mass with 16 J of kinetic energy is 4 m/s.
Hope this is helpful!

When working with a powered instrument, the swirling effect produced by the water stream within the confined space of a periodon
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

Acoustic microstreaming

Explanation:

Acoustic microstreaming is the swirling effect produced by water stream confined in a spaced of a periodontal pocket.

  • It is the movement of water in a particular direction as a result of mechanical pressure within the fluid body.
  • They are often used in dental procedures to remove particulates from the teeth.
  • It mostly relies on the properties of sound waves to achieve this goal

the magnitude of the magnetic field at point p for a certain electromagnetic wave is 2.21. What is the magnitude of the elctic f
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

6.63\times 10^8\ N/C

Explanation:

Given that,

The magnitude of magnetic field, B = 2.21

We need to find the magnitude of the electric field. Let it is E. So,

\dfrac{E}{B}=c\\\\E=Bc

Put all the values,

E=2.21\times 3\times 10^8\\\\=6.63\times 10^8\ N/C

So, the magnitude of the electric field is equal to 6.63\times 10^8\ N/C.
