Part 1. Stellar Mass Black Holes
These are the collapsed cores of massive stars which end their life in supernova explosions. The
stellar core can no longer use nuclear fusion to hold up the immense gravity, and collapses until
its escape velocity rises higher than the speed of light. Voila! A black hole is formed.
Part A: The Schwarzschild Radius
The Schwarzschild Radius is defined as:
2GM
(1)
=
c2
where r, is the Schwarzschild radius, G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the black
hole, and c is the speed of light.
1. Let's say we have a black hole with a mass 10 times that of the Sun (the Sun's mass is 2 x
1030 kg, so the mass of the black hole is then 2 x 1031 kg). Using the definitions for G and
c, what would the Schwarzschild radius of this black hole be?
2. If the radius of the Sun is 7 x 108 m, how does the black hole's radius compare? (Divide
the radius of the Sun by the Schwarzschild radius). Your answer should be in the form of
times smaller/bigger than the…
Which of the following is an INCORRECT statement regarding the expanding universe theory?
A. Scientists were able to observe that all galaxies and star clusters are moving away from Earth because of the shift of the wavelength to the blue part of the visible spectrum.
B. Slipher from 1912 to 1914 studied the electromagnetic radiation of nearby spiral galaxies where he observed that wavelengths of yellow lines appear to be a little orange.
C. More recent observation using powerful telescopes confirm that frequency of light from nearby galaxies and star clusters decreases as it is observed here on Earth.
D. From the amount of Doppler shift, astronomers are able to compute for the speeds and determine the direction of the motion of nearby galaxies and star clusters.
The Big Bang Theory is currently the most widely-accepted explanation for the origin of the Universe. As technology has emerged, new data has been collected to allow for a clearer understanding of how the Universe is changing and the possible things that might happen to it in
the future. Which of the following is not a question that can be answered using scientific processes?
>What was the cause of the Big Bang?
>What is the type of energy emitted by celestial objects?>What is the rate at which the universe appears to be expanding?
>What are the chemical elements that exist in the other parts of the galaxy?
