← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when gravitational potential energy is converted entirely to kinetic energy near a black hole's equivalent event horizon?
A)Extreme longitudinal length contraction occurs✓
B)Stable circular orbit always forms
C)Hawking radiation emission ceases
D)Spaghettification is instantly terminated
💡 Explanation
Extreme length contraction occurs because tidal forces cause spaghettification, and the equivalence principle means gravitational effects locally mimic acceleration, therefore objects are stretched longitudinally and compressed radially rather than forming stable orbits in this intense environment because of unbalanced forces.
