MCQ
The condition for a uniform spherical mass $m$ of radius $r$ to be a black hole is [$G=$ gravitational constant and $g=$ acceleration due to gravity]
  • A
    ${(2Gm/r)^{1/2}} \le c$
  • B
    ${(2Gm/r)^{1/2}} = c$
  • ${(2Gm/r)^{1/2}} \ge c$
  • D
    ${(gm/r)^{1/2}} \ge c$

Answer

Correct option: C.
${(2Gm/r)^{1/2}} \ge c$
c
(c)Escape velocity for that body ${v_e} = \sqrt {\frac{{2Gm}}{r}} $
${v_e}$ should be more than or equal to speed of light
i.e.$\sqrt {\frac{{2Gm}}{r}} \ge c$

A body is projected from ground at an angle ${\theta _1}$ with the horizontal with kinetic energy $K$. What is the potential energy of the body, when the velocity makes an angle ${\theta _2}$ with the horizontal?
The two thigh bones (femurs), each of cross-sectional area $10\; cm ^{2}$ support the upper part of a human body of mass $40\; kg$. Estimate the average pressure sustained by the femurs.
Two spherical stars $A$ and $B$ have densities $\rho_A$ and $\rho_B$, respectively. $A$ and $B$ have the same radius, and their masses $M_A$ and $M_B$ are related by $M_B=2 M_A$. Due to an interaction process, star $A$ loses some of its mass, so that its radius is halved, while its spherical shape is retained, and its density remains $\rho_A$. The entire mass lost by $A$ is deposited as a thick spherical shell on $B$ with the density of the shell being $\rho_4$. If $v_A$ and $v_B$ are the escape velocities from $A$ and $B$ after the interaction process, the ratio $\frac{v_B}{v_A}=\sqrt{\frac{10 n}{15^{1 / 3}}}$. The value of $n$ is. . . . .
