Question 2

To determine the value of the Hubble constant, an astronomer measures the distance of a galaxy from the Earth as 3.6 × 1022 km.

She also measures the speed of recession of the galaxy from the Earth as 8.1 × 103 km/s.

From these data, what is the value of the Hubble constant?

A

2.3×10−22 s−12.3 \times 10^{-22}\text{ s}^{-1}2.3×10−22 s−1

B

2.3×10−19 s−12.3 \times 10^{-19}\text{ s}^{-1}2.3×10−19 s−1

C

4.4×1018 s−14.4 \times 10^{18}\text{ s}^{-1}4.4×1018 s−1

D

2.9×1026 s−12.9 \times 10^{26}\text{ s}^{-1}2.9×1026 s−1
