Final Practice 1

by admin — Categories: 2010/11 AgendasNo Comments

Answer the questions here: rtqphysics-38-25.  Put your answers in a text document with the number and then your answer.  Then, include a short sentence either explaining why or summarizing the question and answer in some way.  You may work with one other person.

Example:

38: B A heated gas means energy is transferred to the gas from the heat source
39: C  10,7450 J input and 2420 J of work done leaves 8330 J of heat loss.
40: A 400 J of energy in and 25o J of work leaves 150 J
etc.

Put your document in Final Practice #1

Event Horizon

by admin — Categories: 2010/11 AgendasNo Comments

Today you will add to yesterday’s assignment.  You must do your own searching for some of these answers.

Slide 9: What is the Event Horizon of a black hole?  Include an image.

Slide 10: Calculate the event horizon radius for a black hole formed by smashing the planet earth to a black hole size:  1. Go here to find the mass of the earth in kg, copy it.  2. Then search for “black hole event horizon” in Alpha and put the mass of the earth in there to find the event horizon radius.

Slide 11: What is the equation for the Event Horizon of a Black Hole?  You should see it in the Alpha page above. Describe the variables in the equation.

Slide 12: Hawking radiation: What is it?  Include an image.

Slide 13: What is a wormhole? Include an image.

For fun, search for your name in Alpha and find the information for your name.

Save your Keynote or comic and put it in the Black Holes Here folder on the server.  You can replace the old one or leave both.
