Question 36

Hubble's law relates the recessional velocity v v\,v of a galaxy to its distance d d\,d from Earth.

What is the correct relationship between v v\,v and ddd, and what is the unit of the Hubble constant H0 H_0\,H0​ in SI base units?

A

Relationship: vvv is proportional to ddd; SI base unit of H0H_0H0​ is s−1\text{s}^{-1}s−1

B

Relationship: vvv is proportional to 1d\frac{1}{d}d1​; SI base unit of H0H_0H0​ is s−1\text{s}^{-1}s−1

C

Relationship: vvv is proportional to ddd; SI base unit of H0H_0H0​ is m s−1\text{m s}^{-1}m s−1

D

Relationship: vvv is proportional to 1d\frac{1}{d}d1​; SI base unit of H0H_0H0​ is m s−1\text{m s}^{-1}m s−1
