Wouldn't momentum transfer from the consumed mass slow it down?

Wouldn't momentum transfer from the consumed mass slow it down?
- sliken 7y agoSome, but the sun isn't very dense. So sure if you were ever so slightly above escape velocity the consumed matter could slow you down. A black hole the mass of the earth is 9mm. The weight of a cubic cm of sun is around 1.41 grams. The black hole isn't really going to notice. The pass through the sun is around 1.39102e+11 cm * 1.41 grams per cm^3 = 139 million KG. So the earth weighs around 4.2* 10^16 more than what a black hole sized hole in the sun weighs.
