- As an object falls into a black hole, tidal forces increase. Will these tidal forces always tear the object apart as it approaches the Schwarzschild radius? How does the mass of the black hole and size of the object affect your answer?arrow_forwardAs a person approaches the Schwarzschild radius fo a black hole, outside observers see all the processes of that person (their clocks, their heart rate, etc.) slowing down, and coming to a halst as they reach the Schwarzschild radius. (The person falling into the black hole sees their own processes unaffected.) But the speed of light is the same everywhere for all observers. What does this say about space as you approach the black hole?arrow_forwardSuppose the amount of mass in a black hole doubles. Does the event horizon change? If so, how does it change?arrow_forward
- A black hole is an object with mass, but no spatial extent. It truly is a particle. A black hole may form from a dead star. Such a black hole has a mass several times the mass of the Sun. Imagine a black hole whose mass is ten times the mass of the Sun. a. Would you expect the period of an object orbiting the black hole with a semimajor axis of 1 AU to have a period greater than, less than, or equal to 1 yr? Explain your reasoning. b. Use Equation 7.6 to calculate this period.arrow_forwardSince the force of gravity a significant distance away from the event horizon of a black hole is the same as that of an ordinary object of the same mass, Kepler’s third law is valid. Suppose that Earth collapsed to the size of a golf ball. What would be the period of revolution of the Moon, orbiting at its current distance of 400,000 km? Use Kepler’s third law to calculate the period of revolution of a spacecraft orbiting at a distance of 6000 km.arrow_forwardWhat is the Schwarzschild radius (in km) of a 20 solar mass black hole?arrow_forward
- If the Sun were to become a black hole at what distance will the escape velocity reach the speed of light?arrow_forwardA gravitational dead zone is found between two hyper giant stars, HG A and HG B, 34 million km from HG A. It is known that the mass of B is 25 x the mass of A. Determine the distance between the two stars in millions of km.arrow_forwardAn AGN hosts a central Black Hole of mass 2×1038×1038 kg. The AGN emits at 1/51/5 of the Eddington limit. Find the luminosity of the AGN. Give your answer in Watts to 3 significant figures.arrow_forward
- Assume a neutron star has a mass of about 1.2 times the mass of the Sun and a radius of 7 kilometers. Assume the Event Horizon is the size of the Black Hole. What is the density of a Black Hole that has the mass of the Sun?arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about black holes are true? (select all that apply) If you watch someone else fall into a black hole, you will never see him or her cross the event horizon. However, he or she will fade from view as the light he or she emits (or reflects) becomes more and more redshifted. If you fell into a black hole, you would experience time to be running normally as you plunged rapidly across the event horizon. If we watch a clock fall toward a black hole you will see it tick slower and slower as it falls nearer to the event horizon. If the Sun magically disappeared and was replaced by a black hole of the same mass, Earth would soon be sucked into the black hole.arrow_forwardFive astronauts (A - E) are watching a star collapse to form a black hole. Which of the flight plans require that the astronaut travel faster than light? A COLLAPSING STAR THAT FORMS BLACK HOLE r=0 Singularity Time Inside of Star At B D Rs Radius of a Star Earrow_forward
