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 × 108 m/s, making all escape impossible. |
Part A What is the radius of the event horizon for a black hole with a mass 6.0 times the mass of the sun? This distance is called the Schwarzschild radius. |
Nothing can escape the event horizon of a black hole, not even light. You can think...
The Schwarzschild radius, or event horizon, of a black hole is the distance from a black hole at which the escape velocity is the speed of light. Calculate the Schwarzschild radius of a black hole with the mass of Mount Rushmore (reminder: Mt. Rushmore has a mass of about 3 x 1013 grams).
Black holes have a special boundary called the event horizon, beyond which not even something traveling at the speed of light can escape. Use what you know about escape velocity to find the event horizon distance for a 5 solar mass (1 Msolar = 2x1030 kg) black hole. Your answer will be in meters.
The Schwarzschild radius is the distance from an object at which the escape velocity is equal to the speed of light. A black hole is an object that is smaller than its Schwarzschild radius, so not even light itself can escape a black hole. The Schwarzschild radius r depends on the mass m of the black hole according to the equation 2Gm r = where G = 6.673 x 10-11 N.m²/ kg? is the gravitational constant and c = 2.998...
The gravity of a black hole is so strong that not even light can escape from within its surface or “event horizon.” Even outside that surface, enormous energies are needed to escape. Suppose that you are 11.0 km away from the center of a black hole that has a mass of 1.00x1031 kg. If your mass is 72.0 kg, how much do you weigh? NOTE: The answer im getting is 3.968*10^14 N. However, it is not accepting the (*10^14 on...
A black hole has an event horizon radius of 4.00×103 m . A) What is its mass? B) Determine the gravitational acceleration it produces at a distance of 4.01×103 m from its center. C) Determine the escape speed at a distance of 4.01×103 m from its center.
3. The radius of a black hole is the distance from the black hole's center at which the escape speed is the speed of light (c-3.0 x 10° m/s). What is the radius of a 24 solar mass black hole? Sun has a mass of M = 2.0.10 kg and a radius of R - 7.10 m
Astronomers now think that there is a black hole with more than 4 million times the mass of our Sun at the center of our Galaxy? Roughly how large would the event horizon of such a supermassive black hole be? A. the size of our Moon B. about 4 light years across C. about 17 times the size of the Sun D. about the size of an atom (so much mass really compresses the event horizon) E. we can’t answer...
How would you simply describe a black hole to someone in your family who has not taken astronomy? What do we mean by the event horizon of a black hole, and how did Karl Schwarzschild estimate the radius of a black hole? How could we theoretically decrease the event horizon (or Schwarzschild radius) of a black hole? What about a black hole makes this essentially impossible?
3. The radius of a black hole is the distance from the black hole's center at which the escape speed is the speed of light (c = 3.0 x 10 m/s). What is the radius of a 24 solar mass black hole? Sun has a mass of M -2.0-10 kg and a radius of R = 7.10 m
