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.

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Speed of cart's might be less than the high speed after 5 seconds.

Explanation:

Given that,

A fan cart with the fan set to high rolled across the floor.

Let the speed of fan cart with set to high is x\ cm per second.

The fan supplies a force to the cart. If a lower fan speed were used, less force would be applied. This would cause a slower change in the cart's speed. So, the cart would be rolling more slowly than x\ cm per second after 5 seconds. The speed of cart's might be less than x\ cm per second.

Force is needed

A. for a moving object to keep moving at the same speed and direction

B. for a moving object to change its speed

C. for a motionless object to remain still

D. to prevent a moving object from turning

Hence,

Speed of cart's might be less than the high speed after 5 seconds.

suppose a car manufacturer tested its cars for front end collsion by hauling them up on a crane and dropping them from a certain
IRINA_888 [86]

Initial height: 66.5 m

Explanation:

The problem can be solved by using the principle of conservation of energy.

If we neglect air resistance, the total mechanical energy of the car is conserved during the fall, therefore we can write:

K_i + U_i = K_f + U_f

where :

K_i = 0 is the kinetic energy of the car at the top (it starts from rest)

U_i = mgh is the gravitational potential energy of the car at the top, with:

m = the mass of the car

g = the acceleration of gravity

h = the heigth of the car

K_f = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 is the kinetic energy of the car just before hitting the ground, with

v = 130 km/h final speed of the car

U_f = 0 is the gravitational potential energy of the car at the bottom

Re-arranging the equation,  we find

mgh=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

and we have:

g=9.8 m/s^2\\v = 130 km/h = 36.1 m/s

Solving for h, we find the initial height of the car:

h=\frac{v^2}{2g}=\frac{36.1^2}{2(9.8)}=66.5 m
