Solar mass black hole at the center of the galaxy

Reference no: EM13656265

The 5*10^6 solar mass black hole at the center of the galaxy may have gained its first million solar masses in the first billion years of the milky ways existence. How much mass must it have absorbed on average each year since then to reach 5 million solar masses today?

Charged particle moves through space with constant velocity : A charged particle moves through space with constant velocity (magnitude and direction). If the external magentic field is zero in this region, you can conclude that the external electric field in this region is also zero.

Light bulbs-which one burned out and why : You have two 120V light bulbs, one 25W and one 100W, that are normally connected in parallel with 120V across each. Your friend had what seemed like a good idea which was to connect them in series across a 240V power line. However, one of them burned..

What the angle between the current direction and due north : At a certain location, Earth's magnetic field of 53 µT is horizontal and directed due north. Suppose the net field is zero exactly 7.5 cm above a long, straight, horizontal wire that carries a constant current. What is (a) the magnitude of the curren..

Balanced on a massless seesaw problem : A boy and a girl are balanced on a massless seesaw. The boy has a mass of 75 kg and the girls mass is 50 kg. If the boy sits 2.0 meters from the pivot point on one side of the seesaw, where must the girl sit on the other side?

Maximum of reflection with normally incident red light : A transparent oil with index of refraction 1.29 spills on the surface of water (index of refraction 1.33), producing a maximum of reflection with normally incident red light (wavelength 700 nm in air). Assuming the maximum occurs in the first orde..

Model the neuron as a long wire carrying a current : Neurons in our bodies carry weak currents that produce detectable magnetic fields. A technique called magnetoencephalography, or MEG, is used to study electrical activity in the brain using this concept.

Separation between the second-order and fourth-order maxima : A double slit separated by 0.0572 mm is placed 1.30 m from a screen. If blue light of wavelength 415 nm strikes the double slit, what is the separation between the second-order and fourth-order maxima?

Global warming is a cause for concern : Global warming is a cause for concern because even small changes in the Earth's temperature can have significant consequences. For example, if the Earth's polar ice caps were to melt entirely, the resulting additional water in the oceans would flo..
