Is it possible to calculate the rotation speed of a black hole? Idid not find anything on this on google.
thanks
thanks
A black hole rotates due to the conservation of angular momentum. As matter falls into a black hole, it brings its angular momentum with it, causing the black hole to rotate.
Yes, a black hole can rotate at any speed, depending on the amount of angular momentum it possesses. A rapidly rotating black hole is known as a Kerr black hole.
Yes, the rotation of a black hole affects its gravitational pull. A rotating black hole has a greater gravitational pull than a non-rotating black hole, due to the centrifugal force caused by its rotation.
Yes, the rotation of a black hole can be measured using various methods. One way is to observe the motion of matter near the black hole and calculate its angular momentum. Another method is to measure the distortion of light caused by the rotation of the black hole.
Matter that falls into a rotating black hole will eventually be pulled towards the black hole's axis of rotation, due to the centrifugal force. It will then be compressed and heated, emitting radiation before crossing the event horizon and becoming part of the black hole's singularity.
