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.

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

Explanation:

Here image distance is fixed .

In the first case if v be image distance

1 / v - 1 / -25 = 1 / .05

1 / v = 1 / .05 - 1 / 25

= 20 - .04 = 19.96

v = .0501 m = 5.01 cm

In the second case

u = 4 ,

1 / v - 1 / - 4 = 1 / .05

1 / v = 20 - 1 / 4 = 19.75

v = .0506 = 5.06 cm

So lens must be moved forward by 5.06 - 5.01 =  .05 cm ( away from film )

Why might a balloon, that is inflated almost to its capacity, pop or explode on an extremely warm day?
REY [17]
On an extremely warm day, the balloon might pop because gases expand the hotter they get, and due to its temperature it is likely to pop if it is, indeed, nearly, if not completely, filled to its capacity.  I hope this helps, have a nice day!

a) What is the average useful power output of a person who does6.00×10^6Jof useful work in 8.00 h? (b) Working at this rate, how
NARA [144]

Answer:

208.33 W

141.26626 seconds

Explanation:

E = Energy = 6\times 10^6\ J

t = Time taken = 8 h

m = Mass = 2000 kg

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h = Height of platform = 1.5 m

Power is obtained when we divide energy by time

P=\frac{E}{t}\\\Rightarrow P=\frac{6\times 10^6}{8\times 60\times 60}\\\Rightarrow P=208.33\ W

The average useful power output of the person is 208.33 W

The energy in the next part would be the potential energy

The time taken would be

t=\frac{E}{P}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{mgh}{208.33}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{2000\times 9.81\times 1.5}{208.33}\\\Rightarrow t=141.26626\ s

The time taken to lift the load is 141.26626 seconds
