The radius Rh of a black hole is the radius of a mathematical sphere, called the event horizon, that is centered on the black hole. Information from events inside the event horizon cannot reach the outside world. According to Einstein's general theory of relativity, Rh = 2GM/c2, where M is the mass of the black hole and c is the speed of light. Suppose that you wish to study a black hole near it, at a radial distance of 48Rh. However, you do not want the difference in gravitational acceleration between your feet and your head to exceed 10 m/s2 when you are feet down (or head down) toward the black hole. (a) Take your height to be 1.5 m. What is the limit to the mass of the black hole you can tolerate at the given radial distance? Give the ratio of this mass to the mass MS of our Sun. (b) Is the ratio an upper limit estimate or a lower limit estimate?

The escape velocity from a massive object is the speed needed to reach an infinite distance from it and have just slowed to a stop, that is, to have just enough kinetic energy to climb out of the gravitational potential well and have none left. You can find the escape velocity by equating the total kinetic and gravitational potential energy to zero E = = muesc - GmM/r=0 Vesc = √2GM/r where G is Newton's constant of gravitation, M is the mass of the object from which the escape is happening, and r is its radius. This is physics you have seen in the first part of the course, and you should be able to use it to find an escape velocity from any planet or satellite. For the Earth, for example the escape velocity is about 11.2 km/s, and for the Moon it is 2.38 km/s. A very important point about escape velocity: it does not depend on what is escaping. A spaceship or a molecule must have this velocity or more away from the center of the planet to be free of its gravity, 1. In the atmosphere of…
