As far as I know, nobody has ever been eaten by a black hole, but there is compelling evidence to suggest that black holes in the universe routinely dine upon wayward stars and unsuspecting gas clouds. As a cloud approaches a black hole, it hardly ever falls straight in…. As the cloud layers spiral closer to the event horizon they heat up, from internal friction, to upwards of a million degrees — much hotter than any known star. The gas glows blue-hot as it becomes a copious source of ultraviolet and x-ray energy. What started as an isolated, invisible black hole (minding its own business) has now become an invisible black hole encircled by a gaseous speedway, ablaze with high-energy radiation.

Select the two pieces of evidence that support the message you identified: “Black holes are incredibly powerful cosmic forces.”

Uppose that the federal reserve purchases a bond for $100,000 from donald truck, who deposits the proceeds in the manufacturer’s national bank. what will be the impact of this purchase on the supply of money? the money supply will increase by $100,000. the money supply will increase by $80,000. the money supply will increase by $500,000. this action will have no effect on the money supply. if the reserve requirement ratio is 20 percent, what is the maximum amount of additional loans that the manufacturer’s bank will be able to extend as the result of truck’s deposit? the maximum additional loans is $100,000. the maximum additional loans is $80,000. the maximum additional loans is $20,000. the maximum additional loans is $500,000. given the 20 percent reserve requirement, what is the maximum increase in the quantity of checkable deposits that could result throughout the entire banking system because of the fed’s action? this action will have no effect on the money supply. the money supply will eventually increase by $80,000. the money supply will eventually increase by $500,000. the money supply will eventually increase by $100,000.
