The astronomer who first worked out the mathematical description of black hole event horizons was?

vovangra [49]

Karl Schwarzschild devised the first general relativity model that would adequately describe a black hole in 1916.

What is Black Hole?

A black hole is an area of spacetime with such intense gravitational pull that nothing can escape from it, not even light or other electromagnetic waves. According to general relativity theory, a compact enough mass can bend spacetime into a black hole. The event horizon is the line beyond which there is no escape.

Black holes were once thought to be a mathematical curiosity, but theoretical research in the 1960s revealed that they were actually a general prediction of general relativity.

Milk with a density of 1020 kg/m3 is transported on a level road in a 9-m-long, 3-m-diameter cylindrical tanker. The tanker is c

jeka57 [31]

Solution :

Given data is :

Density of the milk in the tank, $\rho = 1020 \ kg/m^3$

Length of the tank, x = 9 m

Height of the tank, z = 3 m

Acceleration of the tank, $a_x = 2.5 \ m/s^2$

Therefore, the pressure difference between the two points is given by :

$P_2-P_1 = -\rho a_x x - \rho(g+a)z$

Since the tank is completely filled with milk, the vertical acceleration is $a_z = 0$

$P_2-P_1 = -\rho a_x x- \rho g z$

Therefore substituting, we get

$P_2-P_1=-(1020 \times 2.5 \times 7) - (1020 \times 9.81 \times 3)$

$=-17850 - 30018.6$

$=-47868.6 \ Pa$

$=-47.868 \ kPa$

Therefore the maximum pressure difference in the tank is Δp = 47.87 kPa and is located at the bottom of the tank.

A wooden plaque is in the shape of an ellipse with height 30 centimeters and width 22 centimeters. Find an equation for the elli

Volgvan

Answer:

Explanation:

height of Ellipse $=30 cm$

i.e. $2 a=30$

Width of Ellipse $=22 cm$

i.e. $2 b=22$

Equation of a vertical Ellipse is

$\frac{x^2}{b^2}+\frac{y^2}{a^2}=1$

$a=15 ,b =11$

$\frac{x^2}{11^2}+\frac{y^2}{15^2}=1$

at $y=4 cm$

$\frac{x^2}{11^2}+\frac{4^2}{15^2}=1$

$x=\frac{11}{15}\times \sqrt{15^2-4^2}$

$x=10.6 cm$

A boy throws a ball up into the air with a speed of 8.2 m/s. The ball has a mass of 0.3 kg. How much gravitational potential ene

diamong [38]

We can use the law of conservation of energy to solve the problem.

The total mechanical energy of the system at any moment of the motion is:
$E=U+K = mgh + \frac{1}{2}mv^2$
where U is the potential energy and K the kinetic energy.

At the beginning of the motion, the ball starts from the ground so its altitude is h=0 and therefore its potential energy U is zero. So, the mechanical energy is just kinetic energy:
$E_i = K_i = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \frac{1}{2}(0.3 kg)(8.2 m/s)^2=10.09 J$

When the ball reaches the maximum altitude of its flight, it starts to go down again, so its speed at that moment is zero: v=0. So, its kinetic energy at the top is zero. So the total mechanical energy is just potential energy:
$E_f = U_f$
But the mechanical energy must be conserved, Ef=Ei, so we have
$U_f = K_i$
and so, the potential energy at the top of the flight is
$U_f = K_i = 10.09 J$
