orbit around black hole?

Question

If an object is in orbit around a black hole, what will its trajectory be like?

Answer 1

At considerable distance it would be a classical circular or elliptical orbit. In close it would start breaking up or losing energy due to tidal forces induced by a strong gravitational gradient (i.e., stronger gravity on the close side than on the far side). As it loses energy, the orbit would decay bringing it into a spiral toward the black hole. When it crossed the event horizon it would become invisible to the rest of the universe... and then, who knows? ;-)

Answer 2

The orbit around a black hole is no different than around any other stellar object with the same mass.
If our sun suddenly became a black hole, our orbit would not change. It is the mass of the object that determines the orbit because the gravity of the object is related only to the mass

Answer 3

Our solar system is in orbit of a black hole, I has been suggested that a black hole exists at the centre of the milky way or our galaxy.
We are therefore an object orbiting a black hole, our solar system will continue to go in a circular orbit as it "falls toward the centre of the galaxy" remember orbiting objects are falling objects

Answer 4

Often black holes are part of binary star systems. There the visible star orbits the black hole. Actually they both orbit the common center of mass. But if the visible star is light compared to the black hole, then the center of mass lies inside the black hole. So the visible star orbits the black hole. The trajectory is quite similar to earth orbiting the sun. The eccentricity may be different.

Answer 5

All I know about that is when the object enters the black hole it eventually becomes like a piece of spaghetti until it breaks in tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny pieces till there is no more, i don't know what happens to the object after that. As for trajectory, I'm not sure of the path the object would take, maybe in a circle like water going down the sink or just a straight line.Your guess is as good as mine.I'll get back to you on that.

Answer 6

no be counted if it extremely is a particle or a photon, if the two are traveling on an identical velocity, they may well be interior an identical orbit. there is not something diverse between orbiting a black hollow or a great call with an identical mass different than you will possibly hit the exterior of the huge call long earlier to procure to the blackhole's experience horizon radius from the huge call's midsection of gravity. A blackhole is only the huge call compacted, it has not greater gravity than the huge call. you're patently at a loss for words, particular, easy is barely tormented with the help of the curvature of area yet that's genuine of the particle besides, it is likewise basically tormented with the help of the curvature of area, the curvature of area is gravity, it extremely is what Newton represented because of the fact the stress of gravity, a particle isn't tormented with the help of the two gravity and the curvature of area reason gravity is the curvature of area. the adaptation is that a photon devoid of mass can not further deform the curvature of area while a particle with mass does.

Answer 7

Your question is very much related to nature and you may project of what you can see at the current TORNADO to your questions.

Generally i will says that the object will orbit around a black hole with respect to the central point. Imagine it is a CONICAL shape whereby all objects (not only yours) orbiting at the base and towards to the tips of the Cone. It is just like a Tornado, Taifun or .... effects whereby it will all object will meet at the deepest tip point.

Answer 8

Black holes generate such high scales of gravitational pull that if our sun turns into a black hole then the earth and other planets would simply be sucked into it. But at a very far away distance, say, the orbit of a planet a few light years away would not be affected.

Answer 9

It would be like the planets orbiting the sun, only darker.

Answer 10

Spiral.

I don't know which stupid gave me a thumbs down, but scientifically i'm right: it's a spiral. Either it spirals down to the black hole, or it spirals away from it (yes, that's possible too). No sattelite has a perfect ellips or circle.
