Tidal force is consequential to the inverse-square law of gravity; the further you are from another mass, the less force you would feel. Hence the side of any body closest to a mass feels a greater pull than the side furthest from it. At large distances or over very small lengths this difference is quite small; however, the closer you are to a large mass, the more apparent it will become. Since the mass of a black hole is highly concentrated, the tidal effect near it is very pronounced and would cause 'spaghettification' or linear stretching and lateral compression into a long thin shape like spaghetti; the effect being so powerful it would stretch to the point of disintegration even the strongest known materials. Near the event horizon of a particularly large black hole such as a supermassive one at a galactic core, the tidal effect would not be as noticeable as a much smaller stellar mass black hole.

What would happen if a meteorite hit a black hole?
It would be torn apart by tidal forces as it approached the black hole. Once it crosses the event horizon id disappears into the black hole forever.
Which of these black holes exerts the weakest tidal forces on an object near its event horizon?
10^6M Sun Black Hole
Why do you die inside a black hole?
In fact you would die outside a black hole. At least in the case of a stellar-mass black hole, the tidal forces, i.e. difference in gravity between your head and your feet, would be strong enough to tear you apart before you reach the event horizon.
Are tidal forces in black holes?
Yes. Anything with mass has gravity and thus tidal forces. Tidal forces are a consequence of the fact that the strength of gravity from an object depends on the distance from its center of mass. For example, since your feet are closer to Earth's center than your head is, they experience a stronger gravitational pull than your head does. However since that difference is tiny compared with Earth's radius, the tidal force you experience is much too small to be felt. With a black hole, however, you an get much closer to the center of mass than you can with any other object of similar mass. Tidal forces near a stellar mass black hole are enormous.
What happens when you fall into a supermassive black hole?
You die. Long before you reach the singularity, you would be torn apart by tidal forces.
What would happen if a meteorite hit a black hole?
It would be torn apart by tidal forces as it approached the black hole. Once it crosses the event horizon id disappears into the black hole forever.
Will anyone die in the black hole?
No, you'd die from tidal forces and ionizing radiation long before you crossed the event horizon and entered the black hole itself.
How do you know black hole exists?
They know because the effect the black hole has on other matter.
Which of these black holes exerts the weakest tidal forces on an object near its event horizon?
10^6M Sun Black Hole
What would happen if something intangible for instance the Higgs boson traveled into a black hole or wormhole Would it be affected or would it just pass by because of it's intangible properties?
This would not have much of an effect because of its intangible properties. It would most likely just pass by it. There is not a significant tidal force with the black holes.If a Higgs Boson traveled into a black hole it would be captured (as with anything else) and become part of the black hole. It could not pass by if it went into the black hole.
Where does the stuff a black hole suck in go?
Things falling into a black hole are ripped apart by tidal force, become a stream of their constituent atoms. These atoms are further shredded by the time they reach the singularity, and the mass of what is sucked in is added to the mass of the black hole.
Can the sun form a black hole and take earth to another galaxy If yes how I no why not?
No. The sun does not have enough mass to form a black hole. A black hole does not lead to another galaxy. Anything pulled into a black hole becomes part of that black hole's mass. Even then, if Earth were to fall into a black hole the same mass as the sun it would be torn apart by tidal forces long before it crossed the event horizon.
How long would you survive in a black hole?
You would not; you wouldn't survive the tidal forces as you came near the black hole. Your atoms would fall into the event horizon, but your molecules would be destroyed before then.
Why do you die inside a black hole?
In fact you would die outside a black hole. At least in the case of a stellar-mass black hole, the tidal forces, i.e. difference in gravity between your head and your feet, would be strong enough to tear you apart before you reach the event horizon.
How big are and how do black holes on this galaxy effect their surrounding?
Black hole has very strong gravitional force thats why if any things near from this black hole swalled this
