Time Travel, Black Holes, and Relativity

Directions are written to solve a related rate problem step by step. There are five example problems to practice solving for related rates.  Use of the Chain Rule and/or implicit differentiation is one of the key steps to solving these...

For this black hole worksheet, students solve 3 problems given the equation used to determine the speed of a falling body using its mass, the constant of gravitation and the distance it will travel.

For this black holes worksheet, students solve three problems about black holes using given equations for determining the temperature of the gases in a black hole and the visible light from the black hole at given temperatures.

In this black hole activity, learners use the equation for time dilation to solve 8 problems including determining the time it takes to receive a GPS signal from space, the time delay for the GPS-Earth system, the distance a radio signal...

In this black hole worksheet, students read about the three parts to a black hole including the Event horizon, the interior space and the singularity. Students solve five problems which involve using a given formula for the Schwarzschild...

In this power of black holes worksheet, students solve 6 problems including finding the surface area of a black hole, determining the amount of matter in the black hole shell, finding the rest mass energy and determining the time it...

In this black hole worksheet, students use a given equation that relates the rate of matter falling into a black hole to the power emitted by the black hole to determine accreted mass.

In this black hole worksheet, students read about how images fade to black when they reach an event horizon of a black hole. Students solve 3 problems about black holes using a given equation for luminosity. They find the time it takes...

In this black holes activity, high schoolers use a formula for time dilation which causes delays in events that occur near the black hole. They solve 6 problems using the equation.

In this black hole instructional activity, students read about the black hole in the center of the Milky Way Galaxy called Sagittarius A and observe a Chandra image of the area where the black hole exists. Students solve two problems...
