- As a mass m of gas falls into a black hole, at most 0.1mc2 is likely to emerge as radiation; the rest is swallowed by the black hole. Show the Eddington luminosity for a black hole of mass M is equivalent to 2*10-9 Mc2yr-1. Explain why we expect the black hole's mass to grow by at least a factor of e every 5*107 years. Where Edding Luminicity is defined as LE=(4piGMmpc)/(sigmaT), where G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the black hole, mp is the mass of a proton, c is the speed of light, and sigmaT is Thomson scattering where sigmaT=6.653*10-25 cm2.Which of the following statements best describes the behaviour of an object falling towards the Event Horizon of a Black Hole (according to an observer a long way from it)? As gravity increases the falling object will not suffer any change in appearence or the progression of time. As gravity increases the object's light will be compressed, leading to it looking bluer, with time appearing to passing more slowly for it. The falling object will appear to experience an increase in the rate of time, and it's colour will appear evermore red. As the falling object experiences ever stronger gravity, it will become redder and time will appear to pass more slowly for it.True or false The escape speed from a black hole would be greater than the speed of light. If the impact time of a collision is increased, the force of impact will decrease. A size of a Kelvin degree (oK) is larger than a Celsius degree (oC).

(Please answer in detail or skip)Calculate the gravitational redshift of radiation of wavelength 550 nm (the middle of the visible range) that is emitted from a neutron star having a mass of 5.8 × 10³⁰ kg and a radius of 10 km.

- A spacecraft is in a 300 km circular parking orbit. It is desired to increase the altitude to 600 km and change the inclination by 20°. Find the total ΔV required if: Part A The plane change is made after insertion into the 600 km orbit (so there is a total of three ΔV burns).In 1999, scientists discovered a new class of black holes with masses 100 to 10,000 times the mass of our sun that occupy less space than our moon. Suppose that one of these black holes has a mass of 1x10^3 suns and a radius equal to one-half the radius of our moon. What is the density of the black hole in g/cm^3? The radius of our sun is 7.0x10^5 km, and it has an average density of 1.4x10^3 kg/m^3. The diameter of the moon is 2.16x10^3 miles.Two distant galaxies are observed to have redshifts z1 = 0.05 and z2 = 0.15, and distances d1 = 220.60 Mpc and d2 = 661.75 Mpc, respectively. Assuming the motion of the galaxies is due to the Hubble flow, determine the value of the Hubble constant, H0. Show how the value of H0 can be used to estimate the age of the Universe, describing any assumptions that you make. Use the value of H0 you have obtained to estimate the age of the Universe, expressing your answer in Gyr.
