How fast would an object be moving the instant it went through the event horizon of a black hole?

While the previous answer is technically correct, if an object were to enter the event horizon of a black hole, it could be moving (according to an external reference frame) at anywhere from almost no speed to the speed of light. If this last were the case, such as with a photon with a trajectory perfectly orthogonal to the surface of the event horizon, it would appear the same from all frames of reference. Basically, there's no set speed anything would have to be moving at relative to the black hole.





Edit: A black hole does not have infinite gravity. Gravitationally, it is exactly like any other object, only in this case the matter is condensed into an infinitesimal space: the density goes to infinity.How fast would an object be moving the instant it went through the event horizon of a black hole?

For all we know nothing can ever pass the event horizon. Time slows down in gravitational fields. Since a black hole has ';infinite'; gravity, it's possible that you could be at the event horizon and watch the death of the universe around you before the black hole finally decayed. our physics breaks down at these extremes.
it would be going faster than the speed of light otherwise it wouldnt be able to reach escape velocity as we know nothing can escape a black hole even light thus we can conclude that anything beyond the event horizon is going faster than
i agree wid the 2nd answerer completely....but i donno if black holes grow..so i am gonna keenly track ur question
