What do we mean by the event horizon of a black hole?

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The event horizon is the surface of a black hole, it is the border of space-time in which the events on one side of it can not affect an observer on the other side.

That is, at this border also called "point of no return", nothing can escape (not even light) and no event that occurs within it can be seen from outside.

Answer:

The event horizon is an imaginary surface surrounding a black hole, where the escape velocity is equal to the speed of light. Therefore, nothing within that horizon can escape due to the attraction of a large gravitational field

Explanation:

No particle that falls within the event horizon comes out again, since a speed greater than light would be needed, and so far no particle can reach it. In this way, there is no way to look inside the event horizon. For this reason, black holes have no visible characteristics.

At what value of angle between two vectors will the resultant of the two vectors be maximum?

yan [13]

The resultant is maximum when the angle between the two vectors is zero

Explanation:

The formula to calculate the resultant of two vectors A, B is the following:

$R=\sqrt{A^2+B^2+2ABcos \theta}$

where

A is the magnitude of vector A

B is the magnitude of vector B

$\theta$ is the angle between the directions of A and B

This formula can be derived by applying the parallelogram law.

From the formula, we observe that:

- When $\theta=0^{\circ}$ (vectors A and B parallel), $cos \theta = 1$ . so the resultant becomes simply

$R=\sqrt{A^2+B^2 + 2AB}=\sqrt{(A+B)^2}=A+B$

- When $\theta = 90^{\circ}$ (vectors A and B perpendicular), $cos \theta = 0$ , so the resultant becomes

$R=\sqrt{A^2+B^2}$

- When $\theta=180^{\circ}$ (vectors A and B anti-parallel), $cos \theta = -1$ , so the resultant becomes

$R=\sqrt{A^2+B^2 - 2AB}=\sqrt{(A-B)^2}=|A-B|$

By looking at the three cases and at the formula, we see that the maximum value of the resultant is when the angle between the two vectors is zero, since in that case the resultant is simply obtained by adding the magnitudes of the two vectors.

What conclusions can you draw about the connection between the Sun’s altitude and the latitude of the observer on seasonal chang

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Altitude of the Sun and the latitude position on the earth play an important role in the season change on the earth.

When the altitude of the sun is high then the average temperature of the earth is higher because the luminous intensity of the sun rays is higher due to the focusing of high energy sun rays over a small area.

But when the sun is at higher altitudes we receive less denser rays of the sun and hence we have less heat on the earth on an average.

But despite of the altitude some places on the earth have distinct temperature than the other place at the same time of the year. This is due to their latitudinal location. The places near the equator are warmer most of the times throughout the year because they receive the most direct rays while the poles receive slanting rays and hence are colder even in summer when the earth is at lower altitudes.

N capacitors are connected in parallel to form a "capacitor circuit". The capacitance of first capacitor is C, second one is C/2

liberstina [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

The equivalent capacitance of a parallel combination of capacitors is the sum of their capacitance.

So, if the capacitance of each capacitor is half the previous one, we have a geometric series with first term = C and rate = 0.5.

Using the formula for the sum of the infinite terms of a geometric series, we have:

Sum = First term / (1 - rate)

Sum = C / (1 - 0.5)

Sum = C / 0.5 = 2C

So the equivalent capacitance of this parallel connection is 2C.

The mass of the particles that a river can transport is proportional to the sixth power of the speed of the river. A certain riv

kow [346]

Answer:

1.122 m/s

Explanation:

So usually a river with a speed of 1 meters per second can transport particle that weighs:

$1^6 = 1 kg$

If the particle is twice as massive as usual, then its weights would be 1 * 2 = 2kg

This means the river must be flowing at a speed of

$2^{\frac{1}{6}} = 1.122 m/s$
