The astronomer who first worked out the mathematical description of black hole event horizons was?

1 answer:

4 0

Karl Schwarzschild devised the first general relativity model that would adequately describe a black hole in 1916.

What is Black Hole?

A black hole is an area of spacetime with such intense gravitational pull that nothing can escape from it, not even light or other electromagnetic waves. According to general relativity theory, a compact enough mass can bend spacetime into a black hole. The event horizon is the line beyond which there is no escape.

Black holes were once thought to be a mathematical curiosity, but theoretical research in the 1960s revealed that they were actually a general prediction of general relativity.

The acceleration due to gravity on the Moon is gM. Suppose an astronaut on the Moon drops an object from a height of H. The time

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

TE = sqrt(GM/GE)TM

Explanation:

To solve for this problem, you have to use the second kinematic equation and set the height equal to each other. Because the heights are equal, 1/2GETE^2 = 1/2GMTM^2. Rearrange the equation and you'll get the answer

Average speed can be represented by the mathematical expression

nevsk [136]

Average speed is defined as total distance moved in total interval of time

so it is given as

$v_{avg} = \frac{distance}{time}$

now here is we show distance by "d" and time by"t"

then we will have mathematical expression as follows

$v = \frac{d}{t}$

A 86 kg human stands on the surface of Venus. The mass of Venus is 4.9 × 1024 kg and its radius is 6.1 × 106 m. Collapse questio

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

755.37 N

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of venus= $m_1=4.9\times 10^{24}kg$

Radius= $r=6.1\times 10^6$ m

Mass of human= $m_2=86 kg$

We know that the gravitational force between two bodies

$F=G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}$

Where G=Gravitational constant= $6.67\times 10^{-11}Nm^2/kg^2$

Using the formula

The magnitude of the gravitational force exerted by Venus on the human= $F=\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 86\times 4.9\times 10^{24}}{(6.1\times 10^6)^2}$

The magnitude of the gravitational force exerted by Venus on the human=F= $755.37N$

an athlete whirls an 8.71 kg hammer tied to the end of a 1.5 m chain in a simple horizontal circle where you should ignore any v

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

T = 692.42 N

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of hammer, m = 8.71 kg

Length of the chain to which an athlete whirls the hammer, r = 1.5 m

The angular sped of the hammer, $\omega=1.16\ rev/s=7.28\ rad/s$

We need to find the tension in the chain. The tension acting in the chain is balanced by the required centripetal force. It is given by the formula as follows :

$F=m\omega^2r\\\\=8.71\times (7.28)^2\times 1.5\\\\=692.42\ N$

So, the tension in the chain is 692.42 N.
