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.

You whirl a stone in a horizontal circle in such a way that the stone is in uniform circular motion. Which of the following is t
horsena [70]

a. The direction of the stone's velocity changes as it moves around the circle.

b. The magnitude of the stone's velocity does not change.

d. The change in direction of the stone's motion is due to the centripetal force acting on the stone.

Above given are true for the given situation.

<u>Answer:</u> Option A, B and D

<u>Explanation:</u>

Circular motion may be characterized as the moving of an objects along the diameter of the circle or any circular direction. It may be standardized and non-uniform based on whether or not the rate of rotation is unchanged.

The velocity, a vector quantity is constant in a uniform circle motion speed is constant as its direction continues to change. Centripetal force works inward toward the core to counterbalance the centrifugal force from the center moving outward.

In a typical rear-end collision, the victim's ________ is/are accelerated faster and harder than the torso
Georgia [21]

The victim's head is accelerated faster and harder than the torso when the victom is involved in a typical rear-end collision.

The traffic accident where a vehicle crashes into another vehicle that is directly in front of it is called a rear-end collision.

 

One of the most common accident in the United States is the rear-end collision, and in a lot of cases, rear-end collisions are prompted by drivers who are inattentive, unfavorable conditions of the road, and poor following distance.

 

<span>An enough room in front of your car so you can stop when the car in front of you stops suddenly is one basic driving rule. The person isn’t driving safely if he / she is behind you and couldn’t stop.</span>

Sound waves that enter the external acoustic meatus eventually encounter the __________, which then vibrates at the same frequen
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

tympanic membrane (eardrum)

Explanation:

The sound waves spread through the air and reach the outer ear, into which they penetrate through the ear canal. In doing so, they stimulate the eardrum, which closes the inner end of the duct. By vibrating this membrane, the vibration of a chain of ossicles located in the middle ear is induced. These ossicles transmit their vibration to the oval window, which is a membranous structure that communicates the middle ear with the cochlea of ​​the inner ear. When the oval membrane moves, it moves the liquid (perilymph) that fills one of the three cavities of the cochlea generating waves in it. These waves mechanically stimulate the sensory cells (hair cells) located in the organ of Corti, within the cochlea in the central cavity, the middle ramp. This cavity is filled with a liquid rich in K +, endolymph. The cells embedded in the endolymph, change their permeability to K + due to the movement of the cilia and respond by releasing a neurotransmitter that excites the nerve terminals, which initiate the auditory sensory pathway.
