Crank3 years ago
4 0

3000 miles (1609 meters/1 mile)

= 4827000 meters

Light travels at 2.998 X 10^8 m/s

4827000 meters (1 s/2.998 X 10^8 m/s)

= 0.016 seconds

What would be your estimate of the age of the universe if you measured a value for Hubble's constant of H0 = 30 km/s/Mly ? You c
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

The age of the universe would be 9.9 billion years

Explanation:

We can calculate an estimate for the age of the Universe from Hubble's Law. Let's suppose the distance between two galaxies is D and the apparent velocity with which they are separating from each other is v. At some point, the galaxies were touching, and we can consider that time the moment of the Big Bang.

Thus, the time it has taken for the galaxies to reach their current separations is:

\displaystyle{t=D/v}

and from Hubble's Law:

v =H_0D

Therefore:

\displaystyle{t=D/v=D/(H_0\times D)=1/H_0}

With the given value for the Hubble's constant we have:

H_0=(30\ km/s/Mly) \times (1 Mly/ 9.461 \times 10^{18} km) = 3.17\times 10^{-18}\ 1/s

and thus,

t=1/H_0 = 1/(3.17\times 10^{-18} 1/s) = 0.315 \times 10^{18}\ s \approx 9988584474.8858\ years \approx 9.9\ billion\ years

The process by which the gene in the nucleotide suddenly changes its position is called.
Ksenya-84 [330]

Mutation is the process by which the gene in the nucleotide suddenly changes its position

Any change in the structure of a gen or in the usual DNA sequence of a cell is called mutation. It can be caused by mistakes during cell division when the DNA is copied or by the exposure to DNA damaging agents in the environment like UV light or cigarette smoke, and may be transmitted to subsequent generations.

A mutation is a permanent alteration of the nucleotide sequence of an organism, virus or other genetic elements.

There are three types of mutations:

  • Base substitutions
  • Deletions
  • Insertions

<h3>What is DNA?</h3>

The Deoxyribonucleic acid, also called DNA, is the hereditary material that carries genetic information for the development and functioning of humans and almost all other organisms. DNA is made of nucleotides.

PLEASE ANSWER-Why are loose electrons needed for heat conduction?
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

Why do metals conduct heat so well? The electrons in metal are delocalised electrons and are free moving electrons so when they gain energy (heat) they vibrate more quickly and can move around, this means that they can pass on the energy more quickly.
