What evidence supports the predicted existence of gravitational waves?
A. Gravitational waves are frequently and easily detected by large telescopes.
B. Gravitational waves have been detected by observing their effect on large masses
suspended on Earth.
C.
The orbit of a star system consisting of two neutron stars is slowly decaying, suggesting
that energy is being carried away by gravitational waves.
D. The energy generated by gravitational waves from the Sun can be seen as it is absorbed
by Jupiter.
E. Photographs of spacetime show the gravitational waves as ripples that are clearly visible.
Challenges to Space Exploration a) We can round numbers to say light (and all electromagnetic radiation: radio waves, infrared, ultraviolet, etc.) travels at approximately 3x108 m/s. At its closest approach, Mars is about 0.5 au of the Earth. At this distance, how long would it take for an astronaut on Mars to communicate with Mission Control on Earth? Give your answer in minutes. Explain why Mars rovers have entire sequences for travel pre-programmed and uploaded all at once rather than being driven around in real time with a joystick.
For the Earth-Moon distance in 5b, you can use 384,400 km b) The boosters that launched Apollo 11 allowed the astronauts to reach a speed of 25,000 miles per hour. At that speed, about how long did it take for the astronauts to reach the Moon? At that speed, how long would it take to reach Mars, assuming the closest approach distance given above? Give your answers in days.
A solar flare occurs in the surface of the sun on Monday morning at 11:45 AM. The sun is 1.496 x 108 kilometers
away and light travels at 300 000 km per second.
A. How long thereafter will the light beam reach the earth?
B. What time of the day will the beam of light reach occurred at 11:45?
C.
If the solar flare re occurred at 1:30 pm when will the light from the flare reach earth?
