Question

Definition Definition Rate at which light travels, measured in a vacuum. The speed of light is a universal physical constant used in many areas of physics, most commonly denoted by the letter c . The value of the speed of light c = 299,792,458 m/s, but for most of the calculations, the value of the speed of light is approximated as c = 3 x 10 8 m/s.

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?
If the Sun were to collapse into a black hole, the point of no return for an investigator would be approximately 3 km from the center singularity. Would the investingator be able to survive visiting even 300 km from the center? Answer this by finding the difference in the gravitatoinal attraction the black holes exerts on a 1.0-kg mass at the head and at the feet of the investigator.
Also, Many astronomers believe that the massive object at the center of the Milky Way galaxy is a black hole. If so, what is its Schwarzschild radius Rs?

Assuming air resistance is negligible, what is the maximum height of the projectile (in m)?
True or false The escape speed from a black hole would be greater than the speed of light. If the impact time of a collision is increased, the force of impact will decrease. A size of a Kelvin degree (oK) is larger than a Celsius degree (oC).

9) The speed of light is 3 × 108m/s. The Sun has a mass of 2 × 1030kg.a). If all of the Sun’s mass were concentrated at a single point, at what distance would the orbital velocity of an object be the speed of light? The universal gravitational constant is G=6.67×10−11[m3/(s2 · kg)] (Schwarzchild radius). b). Suppose the Sun were to actually collapse into such a black hole meaning that its radius shrinks to the size in part (a), and the mass remains the same. How would the orbit of the Earth change (if at all?) In other words, would the orbital radius or velocity change, and if so, by how much? Explain.c). The sun rotates once every 24 days and has a radius of 6.96×108m. What would the rotational period of the sun be if it collapsed to a radius equal to the radius in part (a)?
