What is a gravitational wave and why was it so hard to detect?

Physics
1 answer:
Alika [10]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

gravitational waves are ripples in spece-time caused primarily when objects are accelerated and the energy for the acceleration is transpoted as gravitational radiation.

they are difficult to detect because they require very sensitive technology or you will have to wait unitl black holes collide.

A car is towing a boat on a trailer. The driver starts from rest and accelerates to a velocity of +16.7 m/s in a time of 20.7 s.
frutty [35]

Answer:

F = 479.21 N

Explanation:

given,

initial velocity = 0 m/s  

final velocity = 16.7 m/s        

time taken = 20.7 s          

combined mass of the boat and trailer  = 594 kg

tension in the hitch = ?          

using equation of motion          

v = u + a t

16.7 = 0 + a × 20.7

a = 0.807 m/s²              

Force = mass × acceleration        

F = 594 × 0.807                

F = 479.21 N

Hence, the tension in the hitch that connects the  trailer to the car is        F = 479.21 N

You are an astronaut in space far away from any gravitational field, and you throw a rock as hard as you can. The rock will:
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

the rock will continue at the same speed unless it is affected by another force such as gravity and so if you threw it it will continue to move unless affected by a force

Explanation:

this is because Newton's first law states that every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force.

One of the longer sides of a kite is 39 feet. one of the shorter sides is 25 feet. half the length of the shorter diagonal is 15
pychu [463]
The area of a triangle is found by multiplying the height of the triangle by the length of the base and dividing them both by 2. The length of the shorter side in the equation is useless information, so just multiply 39 by 25 and divide that by 2. A=487.5 sq ft. Also, that's a pretty big kite.

A pipe of length 10.0 m increases in length by 1.5 cm when its temperature is increased by 90°F. What is its coefficient of line
azamat

The coefficient of linear expansion, given that the length of the pipe increased by 1.5 cm is 1.67×10¯⁵ /°F

<h3>How to determine the coefficient of linear expansion</h3>

From the question given above, the following data were obtained

  • Original diameter (L₁) = 10 m
  • Change in length (∆L) = 1.5 cm = 1.5 / 100 = 0.015 m
  • Change in temperature (∆T) = 90 °F
  • Coefficient of linear expansion (α) =?

The coefficient of linear expansion can be obtained as illustrated below:

α = ∆L / L₁∆T

α = 0.015 / (10 × 90)

α = 0.015 / 900

α = 1.67×10¯⁵ /°F

Thus, we can conclude that the coefficient of linear expansion is 1.67×10¯⁵ /°F
