The rotational velocity of a galaxy at a distance of 0.15 arcseconds from the centre is ~596 km/s. The galaxy is 20 Mpc away from us and the mass contained within 0.15 arcseconds from the center is 1.2 × 109 Mo. Verify (within small approximation) that this mass estimate is consistent with a Keplerian dynamics motion of the mass within the specified distance from the centre. NOTE: you can assume the mass provided comes from independent observations not related to dynamics considerations.

Consider the following line element, ds^2 = −dt^2 + a^2 (t) (dx^2 + dy^2 ) + b^2 (t) dz^2 , where a(t) and b(t) are distinct functions. State whether or not this line element obeys the Cosmological Principle, if applied to describe the universe on large scales. Justify your answer.

You find a small satellite galaxy orbiting 66 kpc from the center of a larger galaxy at a speed of 210 km/s. What is the total mass of the galaxy-satellite galaxy system? (Give your answer in terms of MSun.)
Suppose an alien race on a distant planet tries to send a message to us, with a laser (light). However, we were unaware that there is a stellar-mass black hole almost directly between us and them. How would this complicate our attempts to locate their position in the Galaxy? O Gravitational lensing would make the signal appear to be coming from a different location O The information carried by the laser (light) would be altered O It would not matter The black hole absorbs all of the light
