- How does Hubble’s Constant depend on time? How about distance? (In what sense is it constant?arrow_forwardThe answer is already shown, I am just confused about the steps. On part a, how does the 3.1447 go to 4.94Re? and then h=3.94Re and then 25097800m? On part b, where does the 2.5 come from? please solve in simpler steps, thank you.arrow_forwardIf the orbital velocity of the Earth in its orbit is 30 km/s, then what is the maximum Doppler shift you expect to see for the Hα absorption line at 656.3 nm? Explain your answer and show all of your work.arrow_forward
- Please explain this question If the universe had expanded more slowly than it did, the transition from an opaque to a transparent universe would have happened sooner than it actually did. How would you explain to us that using the formation of the first elements in the universe, that he is wrong?arrow_forwardPlease answer the question below as soon as you can. It's very important to me but make sure you answer all of them. I know the rules but I promise I will highly consider give thumps up, please.arrow_forwardThe most significant validation of Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity required the observation of stars that appear near the Sun in the sky. Due to the predicted curvature of space caused by the Sun, what were the stars expected to do when the Sun appeared near them in the sky? Why couldn’t astronomers just go out at any time and take pictures of this effect? So what did they have to wait for? Did astronomers validate Einstein’s prediction?arrow_forward
- Please do not give solution in image formate thanku If a star has a Doppler velocity of-4500km/s what is the measurement of the special line for H- alpha (Ha) if the rest value of the wavelength of H-alpha is 656.3 nm.?arrow_forwardCalculate the number of miles in a light-year, using 1.86 105 mi/s as the speed of light. (Hint: The number of seconds in a year, 365 days, will be useful.)arrow_forwardRead the following questions carefully and answer the problems using GRESA. 1. Assuming that the field of view is flat, what is the resultant vector (yellow line) of an observer pointing his telescope starting at the Andromeda galaxy, then moving 62 units 27° S of W to Jupiter, then finally moving to Saturn 17 units 72° S of W. Express your magnitude to the nearest hundredths units, and the angle to the nearest hundredths °, following the standard cartesian plane coordinate system.arrow_forward
- What is a mass difference, and how does it arise?arrow_forwardWhat are the implications and applications of Einstein's special theory of relativity postulates?arrow_forwardHi, please show full solutions and also explain how you get the answers in physics term so it's understandable. The correct final answers are written beside too. This is one whole question to be answered. I can't post it separately since it's related. Thank you. 2. An astronaut in a spacecraft leaves Earth at a speed of 0.90c and travels 27 light-years away, both measured by an Earth-based observer. Hint: One light-year is the distance light travels in one year. a) How long will the journey take in years, as measured by the Earth-based observer? (30 years)b) How many years will have passed for the astronaut during the journey? (13 years)c) What distance will the astronaut measure the journey to be? (12 ly or 1.1 x 1017 m)arrow_forward
