(a) If r is the radius of the Earth, calculate the value of the Gravitational Potential at adistance of 2r from the Earths centre. (b) A black hole is defined

as a body in space whose escape velocity is equal to orgreater than the speed of light. The Neutron Star 'Calvera' has mass equal to2.15 x 1030 kg and a radius of 12km. Using appropriate physics prove that Calvera cannot be classified as a blackhole.I. What is the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Calvera? (c) To what size (in km) would the Sun's radius have to be reduced to make the Sun into a Black Hole? (Note: only the new radius is needed not the change in the radius).
