How are astronomers able to observe and study black holes?

Physics

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.

If the numbers on the plate are 6.0 cm apart, and the spy satellite is at an altitude of 160 km , what must be the diameter of t
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

The diameter of the camera aperture must be greater than or equal to 1.49m

Explanation:

Let the distance separating two objects, x = 6.0 cm = 0.06 m

The distance between the observer and the two objects, d = 160 km = 160000 m

Let ∅ = minimum angular separation between the two objects that the satellite can resolve

tan( ∅) = x/d

Since there is minimum angular separation, tan( ∅) ≈∅

∅ = x/d

∅ = 0.06/160000

∅ = 3.75 * 10⁻⁷rad

For the satellite to be able to resolve the objects,

D ≥ 1.22λ/∅

λ = 560 nm = 560 * 10⁻⁹

D  ≥ 1.22 *  (560 * 10⁻⁹)/(3.75 * 10⁻⁷)

D  ≥ 149.33 * 10⁻² m

D  ≥ 1.49 m

An object falls a distance h from rest. If it travels 0.560h in the last 1.00 s, find (a) the time and (b) the height of its fal
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

(a) t = 2.97s

(b) h = 43.3 m

Explanation:

Let t be the time it takes to fall a distance h, then t - 1 (s) is the time it takes to fall a distance of h - 0.56h = 0.44 h

For the ball to fall from rest a distance of h after time t

h = gt^2/2

Also for the ball to fall from rest a distance of 0.44h after time (t-1)

0.44h = g(t-1)^2/2

We can substitute the 1st equation into the 2nd one

0.44gt^2/2 = g(t-1)^2/2

and divide both sides by g/2

0.44t^2 = (t-1)^2

0.44t^2 = t^2 - 2t + 1

0.56t^2 - 2t + 1 = 0

t= \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}

t= \frac{2\pm \sqrt{(-2)^2 - 4*(0.56)*(1)}}{2*(0.56)}

t= \frac{2\pm1.33}{1.12}

t = 2.97 or t = 0.6

Since t can only be > 1 s we will pick t = 2.97 s

(b) h = gt^2/2 = 43.3 m
