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 cylindrical resistor element on a circuit board dissipates 1.2 W of power. The resistor is 2 cm long, and has a diameter of 0.
34kurt

Answer:

(a) The resistor disspates 103680 joules during a 24-hour period.

(b) The heat flux of the resistor is approximately 4340.589 watts per square meter.

(c) The fraction of heat dissipated from the top and bottom surfaces is 0.045.

Explanation:

(a) The amount of heat dissipated (Q), measured in joules, by the cylindrical resistor is the power multiplied by operation time (\Delta t), measured in hours. That is:

Q = \dot Q \cdot \Delta t (1)

If we know that \dot Q = 1.2\,W and \Delta t = 86400\,s, then the amount of heat dissipated by the resistor is:

Q = (1.2\,W)\cdot (86400\,s)

Q = 103680\,J

The resistor disspates 103680 joules during a 24-hour period.

(b) The heat flux (Q'), measured in watts per square meter, is the heat transfer rate divided by the area of the cylinder (A), measured in square meters:

Q' = \frac{\dot Q}{A} (2)

Q' = \frac{\dot Q}{\frac{\pi}{2}\cdot D^{2}+\pi\cdot D \cdot h } (3)

Where:

D - Diameter, measured in meters.

h - Length, measured in meters.

If we know that \dot Q = 1.2\,W, D = 4\times 10^{-3}\,m and h = 2\times 10^{-2}\,m, the heat flux of the resistor is:

Q' = \frac{1.2\,W}{\frac{\pi}{2}\cdot (4\times 10^{-3}\,m)^{2}+\pi\cdot (4\times 10^{-3}\,m)\cdot (2\times 10^{-2}\,m) }

Q' \approx 4340.589\,\frac{W}{m^{2}}

The heat flux of the resistor is approximately 4340.589 watts per square meter.

(c) Since heat is uniformly transfered, then the fraction of heat dissipated from the top and bottom surfaces (r), no unit, is the ratio of the top and bottom surfaces to total surface:

r = \frac{\frac{\pi}{2}\cdot D^{2}}{A} (3)

If we know that A \approx 2.765\times 10^{-4}\,m^{2} and D = 4\times 10^{-3}\,m, then the fraction is:

r = \frac{\frac{\pi}{2}\cdot (4\times 10^{-3}\,m)^{2} }{2.765\times 10^{-4}\,m^{2}}

r = 0.045

The fraction of heat dissipated from the top and bottom surfaces is 0.045.

"why are some galaxies' spectra blueshifted rather than redshifted?"
stira [4]
This phenomena is also called the Doppler shift. When the source of light is approaching towards an observer, the color tends to be blue shifted, but when the source is moving away or being stretch, the color tends to red shifted. In astronomy it can be use how fast galaxy is moving towards us or how fast it moves away.

One electron collides elastically with a second electron initially at rest. After the collision, the radii of their trajectories
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

114.92749 keV

Explanation:

r = Radius of trajectory

m = Mass of electron = 9.11\times 10^{-31}\ kg

B = Magnetic field = 0.044 T

q = Charge of electron = 1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

The centripetal force and the magnetic forces are conserved

m\frac{v^2}{r}=Bqv\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{Bqr}{m}

Velocity of first electron

v=\frac{Bqr_1}{m}\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{0.044\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 0.01}{9.11\times 10^{-31}}\\\Rightarrow v_1=77277716.79473\ m/s

Velocity of second electron

v=\frac{Bqr_2}{m}\\\Rightarrow v_2=\frac{0.044\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 0.024}{9.11\times 10^{-31}}\\\Rightarrow v_2=185466520.30735\ m/s

Total kinetic energy is given by

K=K_1+K_2\\\Rightarrow K=\frac{1}{2}mv_1^2+\frac{1}{2}mv_2^2\\\Rightarrow K=\frac{1}{2}m(v_1^2+v_2^2)\\\Rightarrow K=\frac{1}{2}\times 9.11\times 10^{-31}(77277716.79473^2+185466520.30735^2)\\\Rightarrow K=1.83884\times 10^{-14}\ J

Converting to eV

1\ J=\frac{1}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}\ eV

1.83884\times 10^{-14}\ J=1.83884\times 10^{-14}\times \frac{1}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}\ eV\\ =114927.49\ ev=114.92749\ keV

The energy of incident electron is 114.92749 keV
