Suppose that you measure a galaxy's redshift, and from the redshift you determine that its recession velocity is 30,000 (3×10^4)

kilometers per second. According to Hubble's law, approximately how far away is the galaxy?

Answer:

1.4 billion light years away

Explanation:

v = Recessional velocity = 30000 km/s[/tex]

H_0 = Hubble constant = \frac{65}{3.2\times 10^6}\ ly

D = Distance to the galaxy

According to Hubble's law

v=H_0D\\\Rightarrow D=\frac{v}{H_0}\\\Rightarrow D=\frac{3\times 10^{4}}{65}\times 3.2\times 10^6\\\Rightarrow D=1476923076.92307\ ly\\\Rightarrow D=1.4\times 10^9\ ly

The galaxy is 1.4 billion light years away

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to acceleration due to gravity, as well as Newton's second law that describes the weight based on its mass and the acceleration of the celestial body on which it depends.

In other words the acceleration can be described as

a = \frac{GM}{r^2}

Where

G = Gravitational Universal Constant

M = Mass of Earth

r = Radius of Earth

This equation can be differentiated with respect to the radius of change, that is

\frac{da}{dr} = -2\frac{GM}{r^3}

da = -2\frac{GM}{r^3}dr

At the same time since Newton's second law we know that:

F_w = ma

Where,

m = mass

a =Acceleration

From the previous value given for acceleration we have to

F_W = m (\frac{GM}{r^2} ) = 600N

Finally to find the change in weight it is necessary to differentiate the Force with respect to the acceleration, then:

dF_W = mda

dF_W = m(-2\frac{GM}{r^3}dr)

dF_W = -2(m\frac{GM}{r^2})(\frac{dr}{r})

dF_W = -2F_W(\frac{dr}{r})

But we know that the total weight (F_W) is equivalent to 600N, and that the change during each mile in kilometers is 1.6km or 1600m therefore:

dF_W = -2(600)(\frac{1.6*10^3}{6.37*10^6})

dF_W = -0.3N

Therefore there is a weight loss of 0.3N every kilometer.

Energy is inversely proportional to the wavelength of a wave. Which would have the GREATEST energy? A wave with a
Ivan

Answer:

A 5

Explanation:

The wave with the least amount of wavelength will have the greatest amount of energy.

Wavelength and energy shares an inverse relationship;

       E  = h f  = \frac{hc}{wavelength}

From this equation, we see that the higher the energy of a wave, the lesser its wavelength.

  • Choice A from the options has the least wavelength.
  • Wavelength is the distance between two successive crests of a wave.

This is why we see that in the electromagnetic spectrum, radio waves have the least energy because they have the longest wavelength.
