This document discusses how to calculate the size of a black hole by deriving the Schwarzschild radius. It explains that the Schwarzschild radius can be derived using principles of physics like escape velocity and conservation of energy. The document outlines the key principles needed like gravitational constant, mass of an object, and gravitational potential energy. It also provides visual representations of black holes and compares calculating escape velocity from Earth to deriving the radius from which nothing can escape from a black hole's gravitational pull.
