I really need to know for my own curiosity.

When talking about Black Holes, the bigger ones are said to make anything crossing the event horizon start to stretch. They call this process spaghettification I believe. SO, My question is how can a human stretch by this definition? We obviously are not stretchy matter, so is the gravity simply so strong we molecularly change? Or do we rip into millions of small pieces enough to create this noodle effect?

If I may ask another question, since this is my first time ever posting. Why is it that an observer from afar, watching someone/something start to fall past the event horizon, does it appear that they are infinitely falling? When the point of view of that actual person/object is happening at normal speed? And if I lived for infinity, watching something cross the horizon, would I actually ever see that object fall in eventually?

Thanks!

A model rocket is fired vertically upward from rest. Its acceleration for the first three seconds is a(t)=96t, at which time the fuel is exhausted and it becomes a freely "falling" body. 1919 seconds later, the rocket's parachute opens, and the (downward) velocity slows linearly to −16 ft/s in 5 s. The rocket then "floats" to the ground at that rate.

(a) Determine the position function s and the velocity function v(for all times t).

v(t)=
   if 0≤t≤3
    if 3<t≤22
    if 22<t≤27
   if t>27
s(t)=
    if 0≤t≤3
   if 3<t≤22
    if 22<t≤27
    if t>27

(b) At what time does the rocket reach its maximum height? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

What is that height? (Round your answer to the nearest integer.)

(c) At what time does the rocket land? (Round your answer to one decimal place.)

Jason is a 22-year-old college student. He has missed several classes and did not turn in a major paper. When contacted by his professor, Jason admits to feeling so depressed that he has not been able to concentrate on his course work and has not left his apartment for several days. His professor expresses concern and suggests Jason go to the campus health center, which takes walk-ins. Jason agrees to go to the campus health center as a condition of getting an extension on the paper. Once there, he tells the nurse he has no appetite and complains of difficulty falling asleep. Jason says he feels guilty for not getting his assignments done and is not doing well in any of his classes. He states he doesn’t know what is wrong with him, he just can’t seem to get motivated and he doesn’t know why. He looked forward to going to college and was excited to be accepted and move away from home for the first time. Jason did very well last semester, and in the beginning of this semester. He was active in several clubs and was thinking of running for the student senate and joining the track team, but recently things just seemed to fall apart. Although Jason has many acquaintances through his classes and activities, he has no close friends in the area. During the intake interview, the nurse observes that Jason sits hunched forward in his chair with his eyes downcast. He becomes tearful at times and never smiles.

1. What is the most important issue the nurse should assess?

2. How would you describe Jason’s affect?

3. What are the physical health priorities for Jason at this time?

4. What additional information would the healthcare providers need to determine the most likely cause of Jason’s depressed mood?

5. What are the considerations in contacting Jason’s family regarding his situation?

6. What sociocultural factors or stressors might be contributing to Jason’s distress?

A sales budget is given below for one of the products manufactured by the Quick Production Limited:
July 25,000 units
August 40,000 units
September 65,000 units
October 45,000 units
November 35,000 units
December 30,000 units
The inventory of finished goods at the end of each month must equal 20% of the next month's sales. However, on June 30 the finished goods inventory totalled only 4,000 units.

Each unit of product requires three pounds of specialized material. Since the production of this specialized material by Quick's suppliers is sometimes irregular, the company has a policy of maintaining an ending inventory at the end of each month equal to 30% of the next month's production needs. This requirement had been met on July 1 of the current year.
Required:
Prepare a budget showing the quantity of material to be purchased each month for July, August and September and in total for the quarter. (3 marks for July, 3 marks for August, 3 marks for September and 1 mark for total)
