Textbook Question
Chapter 12, Problem 9QQ
Choose the best answer to each of the following. Explain your reasoning.
If you observed the redshift of galaxies at a given distance to be twice as large as they are now, the value you would determine for Hubble’s constant would be (a) twice its current value. (b) equal to its current value. (c) half its current value.

On this situation for science I do not understand. Under the write section is what we're supposed to be including. So down below I will show you what it is asking, and what it wants me to write 2 paragraphs about can you please help me with a deep explanation, because I need help asap because it's due at 11:59 tonight.
DISCLAIMER : THIS IS MY ASSIGNMENT :)) ,, ALSO PLEASE REFER ON THE REMINDERS.. OUR SUBJECT IS GENERAL PHYSICS 1.
AND PLEASE PUT A LABEL ASAP BECAUSE IT'S CONFUSING IF THERE'S NO LABEL ( ex : answer in letter b : )
Think of our Milky Way Galaxy as a flat circular disk of diameter 100,000 light-years. Suppose we are one of 1000 civilizations, randomly distributed through the disk, interested in communicating via radio waves. How far away in light years would the nearest such civilization be from us on average? Show your working. (Hint: Begin by calculating the area of the disk. Find the area of one of a 1,000 squares. Consider the separation of the centres of two adjacent squares.)

- Read 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_forwardFor the graph shown above, a) what quantity would you label the y-axis with if the distance is between galaxies and the Earth?

- Please provide steps for how you got the solution to the problem provided below, I am trying to understand the problem, not just see an answer. Thank you so much. A space ship warp engine has enough energy to perform two warp jumps going between star systems (i.e., the warp battery has 2 units of charge). The ship can operate in two modes: survey the current system or charge battery. On a given day the ship will complete the survey of the current system with probability 0.24. Then, if battery has capacity, it will move to a new system, consuming 1 unit of charge. If the battery is empty, the ship will switch to the charging mode. In the charging mode, the ship will recover 1 unit of charge on a given day with probability 0.95. The ship will stay in the charging mode until the battery is full. Model the behavior of the ship as a Markov chain.arrow_forwardexplain each physics formula by saying what each variable means/stands for and explain the formula as a whole, please.arrow_forwardPLEASE be clear in your answer since the last time I posted was incorrect and only answer part a, thanks.arrow_forward

- The comment is written by professor. Please write your explain and reason detail. Also, please tell me where I'm wrong. 4. The special theory of relativity predicts that there is an upper limit to the speed of a particle. It therefore follows that there is also an upper limit on the following properties of a particle.a. the kinetic energyb. the total energyc. the linear momentumd. more than one of thesee. none of thesearrow_forwardPlease help me with all the parts, and double and triple check your answers, previous tutors got it wrong there are 2 parts attached as 2 screenshotsarrow_forwardPlease answer the question and its subquestions entirely! This is one question with two subquestions. According to the official Bartleby guidelines, I am alowed to have up to two subquestion! 1) When an ice-skater spins and increases her rotation rate by pulling her arms and leg in, what happens to her kinetic energy? It stays the same. It increases. It decreases. a) A 0.400 kg mass, sitting on a horizontal frictionless surface, is attached to the end of a 0.750 m string. It is whirled around in a circular horizontal path. If the maximum tension that the string can withstand is 450 N, then what maximum velocity can the mass have if the string is not to break? 375 m/s 22.4 m/s 19.4 m/s 29.0 m/s b) A grinding wheel with a moment of inertia of 2 kg-m 2 has a 2.50 N-m torque applied to it.
