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

Answer:
The question is incomplete, below is the complete question "A particle moves through an xyz coordinate system while a force acts on it. When the particle has the position vector r with arrow = (2.00 m)i hat − (3.00 m)j + (2.00 m)k, the force is F with arrow = Fxi hat + (7.00 N)j − (5.00 N)k and the corresponding torque about the origin is vector tau = (4 N · m)i hat + (10 N · m)j + (11N · m)k.
Determine Fx."
Explanation:
We asked to determine the "x" component of the applied force. To do this, we need to write out the expression for the torque in the in vector representation.
torque=cross product of force and position . mathematically this can be express as
Where
and the position vector
using the determinant method to expand the cross product in order to determine the torque we have
by expanding we arrive at
since we have determine the vector value of the toque, we now compare with the torque value given in the question
if we directly compare the j coordinate we have
