If the distance of a galaxy is 2,000 Mpc, how many years back into the past are we looking when we observe this galaxy

ruslelena [56]

The age of the galaxy when we look back is 13.97 billion years.

The given parameters:

<em>distance of the galaxy, x = 2,000 Mpc</em>

According Hubble's law the age of the universe is calculated as follows;

v = H₀x

where;

H₀ = 70 km/s/Mpc

$T = \frac{x}{V} \\\\T = \frac{x}{xH_0} \\\\T = \frac{1}{H_0} \\\\T = \frac{1}{70 \ km/s/Mpc} \\\\T = \frac{1 \ sec}{70 \times 3.24 \times 10^{-20} } \\\\T = 4.41 \times 10^{17} \ sec\\\\T = \frac{4.41 \times 10^{17} \ sec\ \times \ years}{3600 \ s \ \times\ 24\ h\ \times \ 365.25 \ days} \\\\T = 1.397 \times 10^{10} \ years\\\\T = 13.97 \ billion \ years$

Thus, the age of the galaxy when we look back is 13.97 billion years.

26. A transformer increases or decreases

uysha [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Single-phase transformers can operate to either increasing or decreasing the voltage applied to the primary winding. When a transformer is used to “increase” the voltage on the secondary winding with respect to the primary, it is called a Step-up transformer

Consider a cloudless day on which the sun shines down across the United States. If 2073 kJ of energy reaches a square meter ( m

Mnenie [13.5K]

The total amount of energy per hour is $2.039\cdot 10^{16} kJ$

Explanation:

In this problem we are told that the amount of energy reaching a square meter in the United States per hour is

$E_1 = 2073 kJ$

The total surface area of the United States is

$A=9.834\cdot 10^6 km^2$

And converting into squared metres,

$A=9.834\cdot 10^6 \cdot 10^6 = 9.834\cdot 10^{12} m^2$

Therefore, the total energy reaching the entire United States per hour is given by:

$E=AE_1 = (9.834\cdot 10^{12})(2073)=2.039\cdot 10^{16} kJ$
