Please answer the LAST THREE QUESTIONS USING THE VALUES PROVIDED. PLEASE DO NOT SKIP ANY STEPS AND COMPLETELY EXPLAIN YOUR ANSWER. I have submitted this question now FOUR times and have gotten different answers each time.
Please make sure to answer ALL question in terms of AU where appropriate!!
Please double check your work, and please make sure you fully undrestand the question before you undertake the problem.
For the given black hole, its Schwarzschild radius is
Rs=2.94814×109 m
perihelion =0.3941 AU
aphelion = 0.4927 AU
The semi-major is calculated using the formula
a = (0.492+0.3942)/2
a = 0.443 AU
detail answer please i will give you 2 likes on answer
The time it takes for a cloud 106,000 AU in radius
to collapse in "free-tall to form a new star is half
the time it would take for an object to orbit the star
on an extremely elliptical orbit with a semimajor
axis of 53,000 AU (half the 106.000 AU radius).
Part A
Use Kepler's third law to find the collapse time, assuming the star has the same mass as the Sun.

- Question B1 [This question will required roughly two single-sided A4 pages to answer.] Consider a hypothetical, spherically symmetric star of mass M and radius R, for which the den- sity profile is represented by p(r) = Pc [1 − (r/R)²], where pc is the central density and r is the radial distance from the center of the star. a) If the star is in hydrostatic equilibrium, by considering the forces acting on a volume ele- ment, show that the following expression must apply: dP dr Gm(r) p 12 where P is the pressure as a function of radial position and m(r) is the mass interior to the radius r. b) For the hypothetical star, with the given density as a function of radius p(r) = pc [1-(r/R)²], show that m(r) can be written as m(r) = 1½πr³ p 31.2 5R² c) Show that the average density p of the star (i.e., total mass divided by total volume) is given by p = 0.4pc. d) e) Given that the pressure is zero when r = R, show that the central pressure is given by Pe= 15 G M² 16π R4 ΜΗ The star is…arrow_forwardHigh Mass Stars Problem 4. Black Holes The Schwarzschild radius determines the event horizon of a black hole. Construct the equation defining this radius using the fact that the escape velocity at this radius is c (the speed of light). Use M for the black hole mass and RS for the Schwarzchild radius.
