- What characteristics must a binary star have to be a good candidate for a black hole? Why is each of these characteristics important?arrow_forwardSince the force of gravity a significant distance away from the event horizon of a black hole is the same as that of an ordinary object of the same mass, Kepler’s third law is valid. Suppose that Earth collapsed to the size of a golf ball. What would be the period of revolution of the Moon, orbiting at its current distance of 400,000 km? Use Kepler’s third law to calculate the period of revolution of a spacecraft orbiting at a distance of 6000 km.arrow_forwardWhich is likely to be more common in our Galaxy: white dwarfs or black holes?

- If the book's example of the Schwarzchild radius of the supermassive black hole Sag A* with a mass of ~4 million (aka 4*10^6) solar masses is approximately 1.2*10^10 m (or rewritten as 12*10^9 m), what would be the Schwarzchild radius of something with the mass of Jupiter (~0.001 or 10^(-3) solar masses) be? How does this compare to the size of an average person (~1.5 m)?arrow_forwardThe diagram shows the believed structure of a black hole if viewed from the top and in 3D.
