What happensif you get near a black hole?

Answer 1

When you get near a black hole the exact effects depend on the size and mass of the black hole. A "stellar-mass" black hole - a black hole that's a few times the mass of the Sun - exerts a strong "tidal" pull on any object that approaches its event horizon. That is the same effect that creates the tides on Earth: the gravitational pull on the side of the object that is closest to the black hole is significantly stronger than the pull on the opposite side, so gravity stretches the object and pulls it apart.

Answer 2

If you get near a black hole, the intense gravitational pull will stretch your body into long, thin strands in a process called "spaghettification." The proximity to a black hole also means that time will slow down significantly compared to observers far away from the black hole. Ultimately, you would be pulled into the black hole and never be able to escape.

Answer 3

1: If a star gets near a black hole, it usually gets sucks in and never returns to the universe - which means it can happily eat gas, happily eat galaxies and someday probably even happily eat the universe itself.

2: The Biggest Star, the XZ Majoris Ceiphei, is the only thing too powerful for a black hole to suck up. If that star gets near a black hole, it collides with it. An explosion called ultranova happens. After that, the black hole is gone, and the star is still there.

Answer 4

It depends on how close. Black Holes can have extreme effects on the orbits of nearby stars, and anything caught in orbit around a Black Hole experience a increase in speed when closest.

Get close enough to a Black Hole will end in the object getting trapped by it's gravity and pulled in, eventually crushed by the extreme gravity of the singularity.

Answer 5

Generally speaking, an object close to a black hole will feel the effects of the gravitational pull and tend to be sucked into the black hole. If it has sufficient energy it may escape. Tidal forces would stretch an object thin ("turned into spaghetti"); although larger black holes would evidence smaller tidal force in this respect.

Since black holes are believed to have highly energetic and incredibly hot accretion disks accompanied by immense electromagnetic forces, including emission of x-rays; an object near a black hole may feel those effects; near the polar region it might encounter powerful relativistic jets.

Very close to the event horizon, theories indicate that the force of gravity may interact in the form of quantum fluctuations which generate and split virtual particle pairs, one with negative energy which may get sucked into the black hole and thus reduce its mass; the other may escape (Hawking radiation). This effect is thought to be fairly weak, but, over time, if not balanced by infalling matter, the black hole may shrink and eventually evaporate entirely.

For a rotating black hole, a relativistic effect near the event horizon called frame-dragging may come into play; where, for a distant observer, light traveling 'against' the direction of spin may appear to move more slowly than light moving in the same direction (as if space itself was spinning).

Another temporal effect may be evidenced; for an observer some distance from the black hole time would seem to slow down for an object being sucked into it - although this effect would be subjective; an object falling into the black hole would not experience this.

Answer 6

If a passing star gets close to a black hole they will interact gravitationally. It's possible they might become co-orbital around a common center of gravity, or, depending on their relative speed it's possible the star might continue in its course deflected by that gravitational interaction. The term 'too close' hints that some or all of the mass would fall into the black hole; if the star in its entirely falls into the black hole it would seem to an observer to disappear; the black hole would increase in size in proportion to the mass it thereby consumed.

Answer 7

Space time is a continnum where all bodies exist. it is like a large trampoline. so when high mass stars are present the space time there is bent due to its weight just like a trampoline bents when a heavy ball is placed on it.

When stars die the contract into a small area, thereby increasing mass. so when mass increases uncontrolably, a hole appears in spacetime just like in a trampoline. this is a black hole. it has such great gravity that even light rays that travel at 300000 km in a second are absorbed bak into it!!! It is massive and can absorb and occupy thousands and millions of massive bodies like our sun!

Still, later, Stephen Hawking predicted that, when we travel at a certain speed in a black hole of specific size, we can get out!

Answer 8

Depending on the specific situation, the object may approach the black hole, get faster and faster, then pass by it, and get slowed down again as it moves away; if it gets too close, it may get ripped apart (as a result of a difference in gravity between the front end and the back end); or it may fall into the event horizon, in other words, into the black hole.

Answer 9

You get sucked in. Its been said that if you get sucked in every atom in your body explodes one by one (you feel every explosion) until it gets to a internal organ.

Answer 10

if something entered the horizon of a black hole it would be pulled into the black hole,get stretched out then get crushed.never to be seen again. that is easy. i am a kid
