(a) A renowned physicist is working on Project Quackinton. The mission - send a rubber duck into a moving black hole. The duck is approaching a point P from the north at 60 AU/light year. How fast is the black hole travelling if the distance between the duck and the blackhole is increasing at 20 AU/light year? At the moment, the rubber duck is 0.6 AU north, the blackhole is 0.8 AU east of the same point P. (a) A renowned physicist is working on Project Quackinton. The mission - send a rubber duck into a moving black hole. The duck is approaching a point P from the north at 60 AU/light year. How fast is the black hole travelling if the distance between the duck and the blackhole is increasing at 20 AU/light year? At the moment, the rubber duck is 0.6 AU north, the blackhole is 0.8 AU east of the same point P.

Answer rating: 100% (QA)

To determine the velocity of the black hole we can use the concept of relative velocity The velocity of the black hole is the rate at which the distan... View the full answer
