*39 Will the universe continue to expand forever? To attack this
question, assume that the theory of dark energy is in error and that
the recessional speed v of a galaxy a distance r from us is determined
only by the gravitational interaction of the matter that lies inside
a sphere of radius r centered on us. If the total mass inside this
sphere is M, the escape speed v, from the sphere is v. = V2GMIT
(Eq. 13-28). (a) Show that to prevent unlimited expansion, the aver-
age density p inside the sphere must be at least equal to
ЗН
87G
(b) Evaluate this "critical density" numerically; express your an-
swer in terms of hydrogen atoms per cubic meter. Measurements
of the actual density are difficult and are complicated by the pres-
ence of dark matter.

If a KS0 meson at rest decays in 7.80 ✕ 10−11 s, how far (in cm) does a KS0 meson travel if it is moving at 0.900c?
cm
(b)
What If? At what speed will the KS0 meson travel twice the distance found in part (a) before decaying? (Give your answer in terms of c.)
c
Consider a universe where Big Bang nucleosynthesis
produced significantly more 4He than 1H. Estimate
the observed redshift, z, of the Cosmic Radiation
Background (CMB) by an observer that observes the
CMB to have a blackbody temperature of 2.715 K.
Assume this universe has Ob = 0. 0486, QDM =
O. 2588 and QA = 0. 6911
