Relativistic Energy and Momentum

According to classical physics, time flow is the same for every observer. But according to einstein's theory, time flow is different for different observers. The idea that time flow is not the same for all may sound strange because we may not experience this effect in everyday life. This effect is only observed when an object moves with some velocity comparable to the velocity of light. This velocity is termed relativistic velocity.

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.
A particle maintains a circular orbit around a black hole of mass 10 Solar masses at a distance equal to 2 Schwarzschild radii. Calculate the orbital velocity of the particle and express the answer in units of the speed of light.

Suppose a lump of ionized matter orbits a black hole with a period of 3.50 ms and an orbital radius of 140 km. What is the mass of the black hole? The mass of the sun is Ms = 1.99 x10^30 kg.

Assuming air resistance is negligible, what is the maximum height of the projectile (in m)?
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 ×× 1088 m/sm/s, making all escape impossible. What is the radius of the event horizon for a black hole with a mass 7.5 times the mass of the sun? This distance is called the Schwarzschild radius.?
