The escape velocity of matter from the center of a black hole whose mass is 3 M_ε is:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The escape velocity from a black hole is given by the expression Ve = (2GM/R)^(1/2), where G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the black hole, and R is the distance from the center of the black hole. In general, the escape velocity from a black hole is greater than the speed of light, because the gravitational field is so strong that light cannot escape. In this case, we have a black hole with a mass of 3 M_ε, which is quite large. Therefore, the escape velocity will be even greater than for smaller black holes. So the correct answer is B.
