The great astronomer Edwin Hubble discovered that all distant galaxies are receding from our Milky Way Galaxy with velocities proportional to their distances. It appears to an observer on the Earth that we are at the center of an expanding universe. The figure illustrates this for five galaxies lying along a straight line, with the Milky Way Galaxy at the center.
B) Using the data from the figure, calculate the velocity of galaxy 3 relative to galaxy 2 in km/s.
C) Using the data from the figure, calculate the velocity of galaxy 4 relative to galaxy 2 in km/s. D) Using the data from the figure, calculate the velocity of galaxy 5 relative to galaxy 2 in km/s. E) Using the data from the figure, calculate the velocity of galaxy 1 relative to galaxy 5 in km/s. F) Using the data from the figure, calculate the velocity of galaxy 2 relative to galaxy 5 in km/s. G) Using the data from the figure, calculate the velocity of galaxy 3 relative to galaxy 5 in km/s. H) Using the data…

- (a) Use the distance and velocity data in Figure 3.64 to find the rate of expansion as a function of distance. (b) If you extrapolate back in time, how long ago would all of the galaxies have been at approximately the same position? The two parts of this problem give you some idea of how the Hubble constant for universal expansion and the time back to the Big Bang are determined, respectively. Figure 3.64 Five galaxies on a straight line, showing their distances and velocities relative to the Milky Way (MW) Galaxy. The distances are in millions of light years (Mly), where a light year is the distance light travels in one year. The velocities are nearly proportional to the distances. The sizes of the galaxies are greatly exaggerated; an average galaxy is about 0.1 MlY across.arrow_forwardGood day to you I was looking through a particular problem found in Richard Wolfson Essential University Physics Volume one, 4th Edition textbook, on chapter 3, problem 68.
