Neutron Star
... No light can escape a black hole => Black holes can not be observed directly. If an invisible compact object is part of a binary, we can estimate its mass from the orbital period and radial velocity. ...

The Law of Conservation of Mechanical Energy
... The law of conservation of mechanical energy states that “The sum of the kinetic energy and the potential energy in a system is constant if no resistant forces do work”. Mathematically, this law can be stated as: KE1 + PE1 = KE2 + PE2 = …….KEn + PEn In other words the sum of the kinetic and potentia ...

A black hole: The ultimate space
... escape from it. However, if a nearby star orbits around the black hole we can detect the black hole by its gravity. • The mass of a black hole is obtained from the orbit and the velocity of the visible star (obtained from the wavelength shift). If the mass exceeds 3 solar masses and the orbit is too ...

HW 4 solutions
... Now, this formula is only true in magnetostatics (i.e. for a steady line current), so technically, it does not apply to our case. The reason is that for a changing current, we need to take into account retardation: since information can’t travel faster than the speed of light, it takes time for the ...
