In this problem you will find the temperature of an accretion disk surrounding the black hole, and the wavelength of maximal radiation from the disk. note that the calculation is super-simplified - if you take more advanced astronomy courses, you will do the same calculation more carefully. in this problem 'bh' means black hole. we will consider the bh of mass equal to twenty solar masses mbh 20msun- (a) consider a single hydrogen atom at rest infinitely far from the bh. as it falls towards the bh its speed will increase. find the speed of the atom at distance d 105 km from the center of the bh. this should be easy enough, as this speed is exactly equal to the escape speed at distance d from the black hole. you already used the equation for escape speed in hw 2 and in problem 2 of this hw. (b) find the kinetic energy k = m4v2/2 of the hydrogen atom at that point, with speed v equal to what you just found in part (a). you will have to look up the mass of hydrogen atom m (c) all atoms falling in towards the bh will collide, exchange energy, and form an accretion disk. since energy is conserved, at distance d the average energy (e) of all particles must remain exactly equal to what you calculated in part (b), i. e e) k. taking this into account, we write the equation relating the average particle energy in the ideal gas to the gas temperature as k=kt where kb is boltzmann's constant (look up its numerical value). using this equation, find the temperature t of the accretion disk at that point. temperature get from this equation will be in kelvins t you wi (d) now that you have found the temperature, use wien's displacement law amar = b/t to find the maximum wavelength amar of thermal radiation of the accretion disk. you already used wien's law in hw 3 - recall that b is wien's constant. what is the wavelenght of amar in nanometers, and in which part of the spectrum is that wavelength?

Arocket starts from rest and moves upward from the surface of the earth. for the first 10.0 s of its motion, the vertical acceleration of the rocket is given by ay = 12.80 m/s32t, where the +y-direction is upward. (a) what is the height of the rocket above the surface of the earth at t = 10.0 s? b) what is the speed of the rocket when it is 325 m above the surface of the earth?
