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.

Which of these black holes exerts the weakest tidal forces on an object near its event horizon?

The larger the black hole, the weaker the tidal forces experienced by an object near its event horizon. Therefore, the black hole with the weakest tidal forces would be the most massive and least compact one.


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.


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.


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 will you die in the black hole?

Being pulled into a black hole would result in a process known as spaghettification, where the gravitational forces would stretch and compress your body into a long, thin shape like noodles. The intense tidal forces near the black hole would ultimately tear you apart into atoms as you approach the singularity at the center of the black hole.

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.


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.


How does a black hole's powerful gravitational pull result in the phenomenon of spitting a star out?

When a star gets too close to a black hole, the black hole's strong gravity can pull the star apart. This process is called "tidal disruption." The star's material gets stretched and heated up, causing it to be ejected in a powerful burst of energy and matter. This phenomenon is known as a "tidal disruption event."


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.

Can you survive being sucked into a black hole?

No, it is not possible to survive being sucked into a black hole due to the extreme gravitational forces and intense tidal forces that would tear apart anything that gets too close.


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
