What is the orbital period of a bit of matter in an accretion disk that is located 4 ✕ 105 km from a 87 M black hole? Use the circular orbit velocity formula.
A black hole is a blackbody if ever there was one, so it should emit blackbody radiation, called Hawking radiation. A black hole of mass M has a total energy of MC2, a surface area of 16πG2M2 / c4 and a temperature of hc3 /16π2kGM.
Imagine a black hole in empty space, where it emits radiation but absorbs nothing. As it loses energy, its mass must decrease; one could say it "evaporates." Derive a differential equation for the mass as a function of time, and solve this equation to obtain an expression for the lifetime of a black hole in terms of its initial mass.
TRUE OR FALSE
A Black Hole’s singularity has zero radius yet can accommodate infinite mass.

- Imagine you are in an indestructible spaceship orbiting a black hole and you decide to launch a probe into the black hole. Explain how time would pass differently for you and the probe as it is pulled into the black hole. Also, explain what the onboard camera would observe as it passed the photon sphere and the event horizon.arrow_forwardYou discover by dropping particles into it that the Event Horizon (Schwartzschild Radius) of a black hole is 171 km. How massive is it? (enter just the number in solar masses)arrow_forwardWhat is the escape velocity (in km/s) at the Schwarzschild radius of a 7.82 Msun black hole?arrow_forward
- 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.arrow_forwardWhich 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.arrow_forwardHow large is the Schwarzschild radius of a black hole containing a mass equal to that of the Earth?arrow_forward

Suppose that of these black holes has a mass of 1x10^3 sun's and radius equal to one-half the radius of our moon. What is the density in grams per cubic centimeter? The mass of the sun is 2.0x10^30 kg and the radius of the moon is 2.16x10^3 mi.arrow_forwardI'm stumped on this question: A clump of matter does not need to be extraordinarily dense in order to have an escape velocity greater than the speed of light, as long as its mass is large enough. You can use the formula for the Schwarzschild radius RS to calculate the volume, 4/3 πRS^3, inside the event horizon of a black hole of mass M. What does the mass of a black hole need to be in order for its mass divided by its volume to be equal to the density of water (1g/cm^3)? I'm not sure where to begin in findng the answer. It feels as if I'm missing information.arrow_forwardwhat is the mass of the black hole ? give your answer as a multiple of Ms where Ms is the solar mass, Ms = 2.0 * 10^(30) express your answer as a multiple of the solar mass mass Ms.arrow_forward
