Условие
The first detection of gravitational waves GW150414 was announced in 2016 by the collaboration LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory). The detected signal corresponds to the merger of two black holes with masses of and , which when joined formed a black hole of . Ignoring the rotational energies of the black holes, you may assume that the energy released by this process () is emitted solely in the form of gravitational waves, that were observed by the interferometer in 2015. You are given that the explosion of a supernova (SN) releases .
1.1 To find out which of these two events (SN, GW) releases more energy, estimate the energy ratio . [5 т.]

- 1.1
Решение
1.1 Based on Einstein’s relationship, . The relationship is Doing a mass-energy balance:
[1 point]
[1 point]
[1 point]
[1 point]
Now using we have the ratio:
[1 point]
GW150914 released approximately 2865 times more energy than a supernova explosion. .
Official-source discrepancies
The question prints GW150414; the solution prints GW150914. The solution gives both an energy ratio of 3.7 × 10⁻⁴ and a concluding factor of 2865. These printed values are retained.
