Would the Scharzchild Radius for a blackhole with a mass of 10^3 solar masses be larger or smaller than.?
Question:
Help.
Answer:
First of all, The S radius would be larger. The more matter that is in a black hole, the stronger its gravity becomes and the event horizon extends. But, as far as we know, a black hole doesn't exist with the mass of the sun. A star with the mass of at least 3 solar masses is needed to create a black hole.
If I recall correctlym, it would be larger. The Schwarzchild radius is basically the point at which the Event Horizon exists around a black hole.
The more massive the black hole is, the larger the Schwarzchild radius. So, a black hole with a mass of 10^3 solar masses would be larger than a black hole with a mass of only 1 solar mass.
The equation to determine the Schwarzchild Radius is -
Rs = 2 * G * M / C^2
'Rs' is Schwarzchild Radius
'G' is gravitational constant
'M' is mass
'C' is speed of light
Schwarzchild radius for the sun with its mass of 1.996^30 kg
would be 2,959 meters
Schwarzchild radius for a star with 10,000 times the mass of the sun would be 2.95 meters
you should know this. the schwarzchild radius only increases with mass. a larger mass makes a larger radius. it is only dependent on gravity. unlike the radii of stars and planets that depend on many other things.
and there could be a black hole the size of the sun, it would just have to be a leftover from the big bang.
