Answer:
T = 188.5 s, correct is C
Explanation:
This problem must be worked on using conservation of angular momentum. We define the system as formed by the fan and the paper, as the system is isolated, the moment is conserved
initial instant. Before the crash
L₀ = r m v₀ + I₀ w₀
the angular speed of the fan is zero w₀ = 0
final instant. After the crash
L_f = I₀ w + m r v
L₀ = L_f
m r v₀ = I₀ w + m r v
angular and linear velocity are related
v = r w
w = v / r
m r v₀ = I₀ v / r + m r v
m r v₀ = (I₀ / r + mr) v
v = 
let's calculate
v = 
v = 
v = 0.02 m / s
To calculate the time of a complete revolution we can use the kinematics relations of uniform motion
v = x / T
T = x / v
the distance of a circle with radius r = 0.6 m
x = 2π r
we substitute
T = 2π r / v
let's calculate
T = 2π 0.6/0.02
T = 188.5 s
reduce
t = 188.5 s ( 1 min/60 s) = 3.13 min
correct is C
Look at the title of the graph, in small print under it.
Each point is "compared to 1950-1980 baseline". So the set of data for those years is being compared to itself. No wonder it matches up pretty close !
2nd and only 2nd option is right
A. 
The orbital speed of the clumps of matter around the black hole is equal to the ratio between the circumference of the orbit and the period of revolution:

where we have:
is the orbital speed
r is the orbital radius
is the orbital period
Solving for r, we find the distance of the clumps of matter from the centre of the black hole:

B. 
The gravitational force between the black hole and the clumps of matter provides the centripetal force that keeps the matter in circular motion:

where
m is the mass of the clumps of matter
G is the gravitational constant
M is the mass of the black hole
Solving the formula for M, we find the mass of the black hole:

and considering the value of the solar mass

the mass of the black hole as a multiple of our sun's mass is

C. 
The radius of the event horizon is equal to the Schwarzschild radius of the black hole, which is given by

where M is the mass of the black hole and c is the speed of light.
Substituting numbers into the formula, we find
