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.

zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

Explanation:

Since the block is at rest in an elevated position, we can assume that it only has potential energy.

U=mgh is the formula for potential energy where U=potential energy, m= mass, g=acceleration due to gravity, and h=height.

Plug in known variables....

U=4kg*9.8m/s^2*20m

U=784 joules of potential energy or letter A.

Explain the difference between si base units and derived units. give an example of each
34kurt
Base SI unit is the unit that used for simple quantity like time=second and length= meter. They only have one unit.
Derived unit is more complex because you multiply or divide at least two base SI, making it have more than 1 unit. The example could be velocity which was time/length = m/s

A force of 4 kg weight acts on a body of mass 9.8 kg calculate the acceleration
White raven [17]

Answer:

here given is a weight

then force becomes mg

that is F=Mg

=4*9.8

then by using the formula

F=Ma

a=F/M

=4*9.8/9.8

=4
