- Nothing can escape the event horizon of a black hole, not even light. You can think of the event horizon as being the distance from a black hole at which the escape speed is the speed of light, 3.00×10^8 m/s, making all escape impossible. What is the radius of the event horizon for a black hole with a mass 3.5 times the mass of the sun?Suppose we represent an ordinary star as a uniform solid rigid sphere. The star’s initial radius is 644000 km (comparableto the size of our sun). After it collapses, forming a neutron star, its final radius is only 18.3 km! If the original starmakes one complete rotation about its axis once per month (every 30 days), find the neutron star’s period of rotationjust after the original star has collapsed.Tafter = (in s)If the Sun were to collapse into a black hole, the point of no return for an investigator would be approximately 3 km from the center singularity. Would the investigator be able to survive visiting even 876 km from the center? Answer this by finding the difference in the gravitational attraction (in N) the black hole exerts on a 1.0 kg mass at the head and at the feet of the investigator. (Assume the investigator is about 2 m tall and is oriented radially with respect to the black hole. Enter the magnitude.)
- A space probe of mass 3.9 x 103 kg is orbiting a star of mass 3.6 x 1030 kg in a circular orbit at a distance of 1.7 x 1011 m from its center. Calculate the minimum energy, in units of 109 J, required to transfer the probe to a circular orbit 5.5 x 1011 m from the star. Use G = 6.7 x 10-11 N m2/ kg2. (Please answer to the fourth decimal place - i.e 14.3225)Suppose you are in a circular orbit above the moon Rhea with a radius of 824.7 km, and you have 154.4 m/s of delta V. Suppose you put all your delta V to go into an elliptical orbit, what is the semi-major axis of this elliptical orbit assuming the mass of Rhea is 2.3065 ×1021 kg and you can ignore the gravitational effects of Saturn?Consider a star of mass M₁ that hosts a planet of mass M₂ on a circular orbit with semi- major axis a. The mass of the planet is related to the orbital velocity of the star by the expression G M₂1 Μια Using Kepler's 3rd law show that this expression can be written as V₁ = 2πG (27²) ¹/3 9 M²P where P is the orbital period of the planet around the star. V₁ = M₂
- I just need to know what is the Energy Conservation Equation.I need help with this hw problem.Black holes are difficult to observewith telescopes because they, bydefinition, don’t emit or reflect any light. They can be found by look-ing for other nearby objects orbit-ing them, however. Here is a dia-gram of a star in a circular orbit around a black hole. a. The period of the star’s orbit is 90 days, and its orbital radius around the black hole isobserved to be 3.6 : ×10^11 m. Find the orbital velocity of the star in units of m/s. (You need to convert 90 days to seconds, first). The circumference of a circle is 2πr. b. The mass of the star is known to be 4 × 10^30 kg. Find the centripetal acceleration of thestar and the strength of the gravitational force on the star. c. Find the mass of the black hole.
