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.

An arrow is shot at an angle 38 ◦ with the horizontal. It has a velocity of 46 m/s. How high will the arrow go?
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

40·919 m

Explanation:

Initial velocity of the arrow = 46 m/s

Angle at which it is thrown from horizontal = 38°

<h3>At the maximum height, the vertical component of velocity will be 0</h3>

Initial velocity in vertical direction = 46 × sin(38) = 28·32 m/s

From the formula

<h3>v² - u² = 2 × a × s</h3>

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the displacement

Considering the formula in vertical direction and taking upward direction as positive

v = 0

u = 28·32 m/s

a = - g = - 9·8 m/s²

Let s be the maximum height

- 28·32² = - 2 × 9.8 × s

⇒ s = 40·919 m

∴ The arrow will go 40·919 m high

calculate minimum number of incident photons per area and of the minimum dose needed to visualize an object of 1 mm squared usin
Lynna [10]

Answer:

minimum number of photon is 4.05 × 10^{7}

Explanation:

given data

energy = 50 keV = 50 × 10^{3} eV =  50 × 10^{3} × 1.602× 10^{-19}  J

thickness = 10^-3

contrast = 1%

to find out

number of incident photons

solution

we know here equation that is

E  = n  × h  × ν   .......................1

put here all these value

50 × 10^{3} = n × 6.6× 10^{-34} × c/ 1× 10^{-3}

50 × 10^{3} × 1.602× 10^{-19}  = n × 6.6× 10^{-34} ×( 3 × 10^{8} / 1× 10^{-3})

solve it and find n

n = 4.05 × 10^{7}

so here minimum number of photon is 4.05 × 10^{7}
