How are astronomers able to observe and study black holes?

Ber [7]3 years ago
5 0
     Although scientists can't detect or observe black holes with telescopes that detect x-rays, light, or other many other different forms of electromagnetic radiation and waves. But they can detect and study them by the effect of matter near it. If a black hole passes through a cloud of interstellar matter, it will draw matter inward (this process is known as accretion). A similar process occurs when a star passes through a black hole. When this happens, a star can break apart as it pulls it self toward it. As the attracted matter accelerates and starts heating up, it emits x-rays that are radiate into space. 
     Recent studies do show that black do have a very big influence towards neighborhoods around it. The black hole emits gamma ray bursts, devouring nearby stars, and spurring the growth of new stars in some areas while stalling it in others.

What is the relationship between the size of a predator population and the size of a prey population
Contact [7]
<span>Let's put it this way. Say you have a killer-whale and a penguin. Killer-whales are major predators to penguins. Now, say the killer-whale population increases. The penguins would be eaten more by the killer-whales, then causing a population decrease for the penguins. If the population decreases, they're won't be enough penguins, and they most likely will become extinct, as well as causing a population decrease for the killer-whales as well. Whereas, vis versa, they're were a killer-whale population decrease. The penguins would be less hunted, therefore, creating a population increase for the penguins.</span>

How to find the gradient of a velocity time graph
Sidana [21]
The area-

The area under the line in a velocity-time graph represents the distance travelled. To find the distance travelled in the graph above, we need to find the area of the light-blue triangle and the dark-blue rectangle.

<span><span>Area of light-blue triangle -
<span>The width of the triangle is 4 seconds and the height is 8 meters per second. To find the area, you use the equation: <span>area of triangle = 1⁄2 × base × height </span><span>so the area of the light-blue triangle is 1⁄2 × 8 × 4 = 16m. </span></span></span><span> Area of dark-blue rectangle The width of the rectangle is 6 seconds and the height is 8 meters per second. So the area is 8 × 6 = 48m.</span><span> Area under the whole graph <span>The area of the light-blue triangle plus the area of the dark-blue rectangle is:16 + 48 = 64m.<span>This is the total area under the distance-time graph. This area represents the distance covered.</span></span></span></span>

andreyandreev [35.5K]
A. The cliff was 30.7 m high
B. I also got 9.5 as the horizontal distance

Here is my work, I find making charts like this one to find knowns and unknowns can be helpful
