Question

Recall that Hubble's law is written v = H0d, where v is the recession velocity of a galaxy located a distance d away from us, and H0 is Hubble's constant. Suppose H0 = 20 km/s/Mly. How fast would a galaxy 1000 Mly distant be receding from us?

Answer 1

Hubbles' law is applicated on galaxies. The galaxy which is 1000 Mly distant from us has the speed 20000 km/s.

What is Hubble's law?

Hubble's law is defined as the galaxies are moving away from Earth at speeds proportional to their distance.

Hubble's law is written as

v = H₀d

Here v is the recession velocity of a galaxy located a distance d away from us, and H₀ is Hubble's constant.

Suppose H₀ = 20 km/s/Mly.

1 parsec = 3.08 ₓ 10¹⁶ m

1 M parsec = 3.08 ₓ 10²² m

The speed v of the galaxy is

v = 20 ₓ 1000

v = 20000 km/s

Thus, the galaxy which is 1000 Mly distant from us has the speed 20000 km/s.
