Suppose that the Sun were to collapse under its own gravitational pull. To what radius would it have to be reduced in order for the escape velocity to be equal the speed of light, 3.00 x 108 m/s? The mass of the Sun is 2.00 x 1030 kg and G = 6.67 x 10-11 N•m2/kg2.
A) 2.96 km
B) 1.48 km
C) 1.52 km
D) 2.10 km
E) None of the other choices is correct.
