Tidal Forces near a Black Hole. An astronaut inside a spacecraft, which protects her from harmful radiation, is orbiting a black

hole at a distance of 120 km from its center. The black hole is 5.00 times the mass of the sun and has a Schwarzschild radius of 15.0 km. The astronaut is positioned inside the spaceship such that one of her 0.030 kg ears is 6.0 cm farther from the black hole than the center of mass of the spacecraft and the other ear is 6.0 cm closer.
(a) What is the tension between her ears?

Answer:

833.4801043*10^6N on ear that is closer to Black hole.

13.83803929*10^6N On ear that is farther from Black hole.

Explanation:

This problem can be solved as two masses that are at two different location from a bigger mass whose gravity affects both.

tension is an equal and opposite force that is exerted in response to applied force.

so on ear that is closer to black hole would have tension that is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to gravitational force that ear experience due to the black hole at that location.

this true for ear that is further away from black hole as well.

(1) Force on ear that is closer to black hole.

                                                 F =\frac{m_{1}*m_{2}  }{r^2} G

                    m_{1}= 5*1.989*10^30kg is mass of Black hole.

                     m_{2}= 0.030kg is mass of ear that is close to black hole.

                    G = 6.679*10^-11m^3*kg^-1*s^-2

                     r = 120km-\frac{6}{100000} km=119.99994km=119999.94m

Note, we have subtracted because ear is closer to black hole.

plugging all this in formula gives.

                                      F = 833.4801043*10^6N

       That is tension of ear.

(2) Force on ear that is further from black hole.

                              F =\frac{m_{1}*m_{2}  }{r^2} G

                    m_{1}= 5*1.989*10^30kg is mass of Black hole.

                     m_{2}= 0.030kg is mass of ear that is close to black hole.

                    G = 6.679*10^-11m^3*kg^-1*s^-2

         this time r is further away from black hole so it would be.

                       r = 120km+\frac{6}{100000} km = 120000.06m

Plugging this all in we get

                          F = 13.83803929N

and that is tension on ear that is further from black hole.

Notice the tension difference, and order of magnitude of tension,it is enormous .

this astronaut is lethally close to black hole.

You have a piece of cork with a volume of 2 cm^3 and a density of 210kg/m^3. You hold it under water and release it.
insens350 [35]

I am sorry if it didn't helped

answers;

Calculate the buoyant force of a piece of cork of 8cm3 that floats in water. Density of cork is 207kg/m3. ?

I need the mass, in order to get the volume to apply t to the Buoyancy formula of: B=(W)object=(m)object(g)

Explanation:

From Archimedes Principle, any object partially or totally submerged in a fluid is buoyed upwards with a force equal to the weight of the displaced fluid.

∴

What is the work done if you push a tree with<br> 50 N of force but the tree does not move?
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

The work done is 0.

Explanation:

The reason no work is done is because the equation W = Fs.

W = work

F= force

s= displacement

In this scenario F = 50 and s= 0

Therefore.

W = 50(0)

W = 0
