Complete question:
use the hubble's law to determine the distance to a quasar receding at 75% the speed of light. The speed of light is 300,000 km/sec. assume Hubble's constant is 2.2 x 10⁻⁵ km/s/Lyr
Answer:
The distance to the quasar is 1.02 x 10¹⁰ Lyr
Explanation:
Given;
speed of light, v = 300, 000 km/sec
Hubble's constant, H₀ = 2.2 x 10⁻⁵ km/s/Lyr
percentage of the quasar recession = 75% of speed of light
Hubble's Law is given by;
[tex]v =H_od\\\\d = \frac{v}{H_o}\\\\d= \frac{(0.75*300,000)}{2.2*10^{-5}}.Lyr\\\\d = 1.02*10^{10} \ Lyr[/tex]
Therefore, the distance to the quasar is 1.02 x 10¹⁰ Lyr
