would it use the gravity of the black hole? if so, what would happen if you shot an arrow at the reversed portion, would it speed up to mach 50 and insta kill anything it hits?
also, would the gravity direction change to the sides of the black hole? could you use it to make a supersonic trick shot at the BBEG?

Hollow unbreakable arrows are the most OP common magic item, and my current method of coming up with insane combat shenanigans.
if you make a steel pipe with one end closed and a nozzle on the other, you can enlarge it, fill with any liquid, and then drop concentration, creating a high pressure squirt gun. (or a pipe bomb, depending if it holds)
The spell range is only 100 feet. You’d be well within the event horizon, and subject to all the theoretical space time shenanigans that would create. Most likely, you’d be too dead to cast the spell.
All creatures and objects that aren't somehow anchored to the ground in the area fall upward and reach the top of the area when you cast this spell. A creature can make a Dexterity saving throw to grab onto a fixed object it can reach, thus avoiding the fall.
If some solid object (such as a ceiling) is encountered in this fall, falling objects and creatures strike it just as they would during a normal downward fall. If an object or creature reaches the top of the area without striking anything, it remains there, oscillating slightly, for the duration.
At the end of the duration, affected objects and creatures fall back down.
This overrides the gravity of the black hole for the duration. Down is going to be toward the black hole. If the hole is small enough to fit in the area of effect, I'd rule that the direction of fall would be different for everyone.
More relevantly, if you have a real-world physics black hole, the high-energy radiation and gravitational fields would likely kill you well before you got in range of the black hole.
And there's no reason to think that real-world physics black holes can even exist in a D&D universe. The only rules we have about gravity make it very clear that it works very differently, though they don't go into a lot of detail.

The hypothetical opposite of a black hole is called (unsurprisingly) a white hole. That might provide some food for thought.
