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.

can you suggest improvement that can be made towards the design of siphon so that the transfer of liquid is much higher.​
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

A siphon is a tube that makes use of the potential energy of fluid at an elevated level to transfer the fluid to a lower level, due to pressure differences between the inlet and the outlet points of the tube, such that the pressure at the outlet is higher than the pressure at the inlet

The pressure energy is converted into velocity (kinetic) energy, and therefore, in other to increase the flow rate through the tube of a siphon, with constant diameter, the level of the fluid in the container at the inlet (supply) of the siphon is raised higher than the level at the outlet receiving) container or the outlet point of the siphon tube

The larger the difference between the inlet and outlet levels, the faster the transfer of fluid by the siphon

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

P=0.197 Watt

Explanation:

Given That

B=73dB

Io= 1 * 10^-12

I=Io * 10^{\frac{B}{10} } \\I=2 * 10^{-5} Wm^{-2}  \\A=4 * pi * r^{2}\\ A=9852.03 m^{2}\\ Power= I * A\\P= 0.197 Watt

Calculate the acceleration using the formula acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time.
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

10 km/hr/s

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object is given by

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time

For the car in this problem:

u = 0

v=60 km/h

t = 6 s

Substituting in the equation,

a=\frac{60 km/h-0}{6s}=10 km/h/s
