HOW BIG IS A BLACK HOLE
BY THE END OF THE SESSION YOU
SHOULD BE ABLE TO:
 Explain what the Schwarzchild radius is.
 Recall which principles in physics are
needed to derive it.
 Derive the equation for the Schwarzchild
radius with some help.
WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT
BLACK HOLES ALREADY?
ARTISTS IMPRESSIONS OF BLACK HOLES
WHAT PRINCIPLES IN PHYSICS MIGHT WE USE
TO DETERMINE THE SIZE IF A BLACK HOLE?
We want to find out the radius of the event horizon.
ESCAPE VELOCITY OF A ROCKET LEAVING EARTH
We will compare the energy the rocket has to the
energy it needs to completely ‘escape’ from the
earth.
ENERGY REQUIRED TO ESCAPE FROM EARTH
Gravitational constant
Mass of the Earth
Mass of the Rocket
Distance of rocket from
centre of mass of The
Earth
Gravitational potential
Work done to move an
object of mass (m) through
a Gravitational Potential (V)
ENERGY REQUIRED TO ESCAPE FROM EARTH
CALCULATING ESCAPE VELOCITY
Use the law of conservation of energy
WHAT ABOUT ESCAPING FROM A BLACK HOLE?
What is the fastest thing that cannot escape from a black hole?
Now let M be the Mass of the black hole
THE SCHWARZCHILD RADIUS
BY THE END OF THE SESSION YOU
SHOULD BE ABLE TO:
 Understand what the Schwarzchild radius is.
 Recall which principles in physics are
needed to derive it.
 Derive the equation for the Schwarzchild
radius with some help.
