- If the fastest passenger aircraft can fly 0.49 km/s (1,096 mph), how long would it take to reach the sun? How long would it take to reach the galactic center?A new astronomical measurement suggests that the Hubble constant is 51 kilometers per second per Megaparsec. If this measurement is correct, what would the Hubble time be in units of years? Is this a plausible value based on other astronomical evidence? Why or why not?If Jim could drive a Jetson's flying car at a constant speed of 330 km/hr across oceans and space, approximately how long (in millions of years, in 106 years) would he take to drive to a nearby star that is 8.7 light-years away? Use 9.461 × 1012 km/light-year and 8766 hours per year (365.25 days).
- Figure 2 shows the "rotation curve" of NGC 2742. It plots the “radial velocity (V)" (how fast material is moving either toward or away from us) that is measured for objects at different distances (R = radius") from the center of the galaxy. The center of the galaxy is at 0 kpc (kiloparsecs) with a speed of 9 km/sec away from us. (These velocities have been corrected for the observed tilt of the galaxy and represent true orbital velocities of the stars and gas.) 200 100 U4779 -100 As you can see, one side of the galaxy is moving with a negative velocity (spinning toward us), while the other side has a positive velocity (spinning away from us). Using Newton's gravity equation, we will be able to determine the gravitational mass of the entire galaxy and how the mass varies versus distance from the galaxy's center. -200 -8 8 -4 Radius (kpc) Read the following text carefully and follow the instructions: Select five radii spaced evenly from 0-10 kpc across the galaxy.
