B Does the inertia of matter change in a black hole?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around whether the inertia of matter changes within a black hole. Participants express confusion over the phrasing of the question and seek clarification on its original context. There is an emphasis on providing accurate translations if the question was not posed in English. Additionally, the forum members remind each other that while they are willing to assist, they do not provide direct answers for homework assignments. The inquiry highlights the complexities of physics related to black holes and inertia.

Hi everyone, I was in physics class and the professor asked if the inertia of matter changes in a black hole and I would like to know if anyone has the answer to this question.

What do you think and why?
 
That seems a slightly odd question. Is that exactly how it was asked? From your user name I guess that the question may not have been asked in English, but in that case please translate as carefully as possible. And do note phinds' reply - we're happy to help, but at PF we don't do homework for you.

Thread '3I/ATLAS, Interstellar Comet'

3I/ATLAS, also known as C/2025 N1 (ATLAS) and formerly designated as A11pl3Z, is an iinterstellar comet. It was discovered by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) station at Río Hurtado, Chile on 1 July 2025. Note: it was mentioned (as A11pl3Z) by DaveE in a new member's introductory thread. https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/brian-cox-lead-me-here.1081670/post-7274146 https://earthsky.org/space/new-interstellar-object-candidate-heading-toward-the-sun-a11pl3z/ One...

Thread 'How feasible is home radio astronomy?'

Is a homemade radio telescope realistic? There seems to be a confluence of multiple technologies that makes the situation better than when I was a wee lad: software-defined radio (SDR), the easy availability of satellite dishes, surveillance drives, and fast CPUs. Let's take a step back - it is trivial to see the sun in radio. An old analog TV, a set of "rabbit ears" antenna, and you're good to go. Point the antenna at the sun (i.e. the ears are perpendicular to it) and there is...
