Fields and Schwartzchild radius for a black hole

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on calculating the mass required to create a black hole with a Schwarzschild radius of 1.0 meter. The correct formula for escape velocity is V^2 = (2GM)/r, which was highlighted as a correction to the initial attempt. The mass of the Earth, approximately 6.0 x 10^24 kg, is questioned regarding its sufficiency for this purpose. Participants emphasize the importance of using the correct equations to determine the necessary mass for the desired radius. Accurate calculations are crucial for understanding black hole physics.

Homework Statement


The Schwartzchild radius for a black hole is the distance from the singularity of the black hole at which the escape velocity is the speed of light. You wish to create a black hole, with radius of only 1.0m for personal research. How much mass would this required? Would the mass of the earth, 6.0 x 10^24 kg do the job?



Homework Equations


V^2 = GMe/Re

The Attempt at a Solution


I tried using the above equation to find the M, but that was not the right answer...

Your formula is incorrect, V2 = (2GM)/r.
 
And then I solve for m?
 

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'A bead-mass oscillatory system problem'

I can't figure out how to find the velocity of the particle at 37 degrees. Basically the bead moves with velocity towards right let's call it v1. The particle moves with some velocity v2. In frame of the bead, the particle is performing circular motion. So v of particle wrt bead would be perpendicular to the string. But how would I find the velocity of particle in ground frame? I tried using vectors to figure it out and the angle is coming out to be extremely long. One equation is by work...
