<h2>Answers:</h2>

-The first direct detection of gravitational waves came in 2015

-The existence of gravitational waves is predicted by Einstein's general theory of relativity

-Gravitational waves carry energy away from their sources of emission

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Gravitational waves were discovered (theoretically) by Albert Einstein in 1916 and "observed" for the first time in direct form in 2015 (although the results were published in 2016).  

These gravitational waves are fluctuations or disturbances of space-time produced by a massive accelerated body, modifying the distances and the dimensions of objects in an imperceptible way.  

In this context, an excellent example is the system of two neutron stars that orbit high speeds, producing a deformation that propagates like a wave,<u> in the same way as when a stone is thrown into the water</u>. So, in this sense, gravitational waves carry energy away from their sources .

Therefore, the correct options are D, E and F.

Which best describes a similarity between power plants that use water as an energy source and those that use wind as an energy s
disa [49]
The hydropower plant and wind turbines both uses kinetic energy to produce mechanical power and convert the mechanical energy using a generator to an electrical energy. They both have the process to produce energy but they differ in the source the hydropower plant uses water to whit the wind turbines power plant uses wind. Therefore the answer is letter B.

an object at rest starts accelerating if it travels 30 meters to end up going 10 m/s what was it’s acceleration
vfiekz [6]

First we have to calculate the time taken to travel the distance 30 m, is

t = \frac{distance}{velocity} = \frac{30 \ m}{10 \ m/s } =  3 \ s.

Now from equation of motion,

v = u + at

Given, v = 10 \ m/s .

As object starts from rest, so  u = 0.

Substituting these values in above equation, we get

 10 \ m/s = 0 + a \times 3 \ s \\\\ a = \frac{10}{3}  = 3.33 \ m/s^2.

Thus, the acceleration is 3.33 \ m/s^2

When force is applied to a breaker bar the torque can be calculated by multiplying the length of the lever by the?
Nimfa-mama [501]

When a force applied to a breaker bar the torque can be calculated by multiplying the<u> length of the lever</u> by the tangential component of force on the lever.

<h3>What is torque?</h3>

Torque is the <u>rotating equivalent</u> of force in physics and mechanics. Depending on the subject of study, it is also known as the moment, moment of force, rotating force, or turning effect. It illustrates how a force can cause a change in the body's rotational motion.

Torque is given by the formula :

                          α = r x F ( bold letters represent vector quantities)

The S.I. unit for torque is :  N - m ( Newton - meter)

<h3>How do we define 1 N-m of torque?</h3>

The newton-metre is a torque unit (also known as a moment) in the SI system. The torque produced by a one newton force applied <u>perpendicularly to the end of a one metre long</u> moment arm is known as a newton-metre.
