The answer to this question depends on what is meant by 'size of a quarter'.

Black holes themselves are mathematically considered to be points; therefore, every black hole in existence is not only smaller than a quarter, they're smaller than even the nucleus of an atom.

If the black hole has an event horizon that reaches approximately one inch (2.5 cm.) out from its center, then the answer is very likely yes. Such a tiny black hole would still have approximately the mass of a planet, and we all know from direct experience how powerful Earth's gravity is.

But if the black hole has the mass of a quarter, then the answer is obviously no.

If light can be pulled into a black hole that suggests mass What is the weight per square meter?

light has no mass and therefore no weight. Light cannot be "pulled" into a black hole. The escape velocity from a black hole is greater than the speed of light, so no light can escape from a black hole. Spacetime in the vicinity of a black hole is greatly distorted by the hole's gravity, and light may travel along curved geodesics that intersect the black hole. But it is not pulled in.


What is the area beyond a black hole where black hole has stopped expanding and matter will no longer be pulled in?

There is no definite boundary for matter not being pulled toward a black hole. At large distances the effects of a black hole's gravity are not different from that of a different object of the same mass. How far out a black hole's gravity is dominant depends on that black hole's mass and its proximity to other massive objects.


What is the part of the atom that doesn't get sucked in to a black hole?

None. There is no part of an atom that would not get pulled into a black hole.

What would happen if a black hole was too close to a star in a constellation?

If a star was "too close" to a black hole, that star would be captured by the black hole's gravity and be pulled into it.


How many miles do you have to be to get pulled into a black hole?

To get pulled into a black hole, you must be within the black hole's event horizon, the point of no return. Otherwise, you will still be able to escape the black hole's gravity, if you traveled fast enough. Once you cross the event horizon, though, you will not be able to escape, no matter how fast you travel.


Can you get sucked in a black hole?

A black hole doesn't actually "suck" things towards it. Rather it's so massive it's gravity "pulls" things towards it. As to your question yes a person could be pulled into a black hole. They would go through a process known as Spaghettification.


What can get sucked by a black holes?

Anything and anyone that ventures too close to a black hole can be pulled into it.


Where do you go if you are pulled into a black hole?

Based on the general consensus among physicists, you go to the center of the black hole and become part of its mass.
