The matter density in the Universe today
is Pm = -27 kg m-3. What would
2.7 x 10
be the value of the density parameter,
2o, if the Hubble constant had the value
Ho = 38 km/s/Mpc? Assume the Universe
does not contain dark energy and choose
the option below that best matches your
answer.
Select one:
O a.
0.1
O b. 2.
О с.
1.
O d. 0.7
О е.
0.5
Complete the following nuclear reactions
and identify the cosmic phase (Big Bang
Nucleosynthesis, Stellar Nucleosynthesis, or
Stellar explosion) in which the reaction occured.
The figure below is based on an assumed Hubble constant of 70 km/s/Mpc. How would you change the diagram to fit a Hubble constant of 50 km/s/Mpc?
If the evolution of the universe were
determined only by gravity, then its
fate would be linked to its geometry.

The current (critical) density of our universe is pe = 10-26kg/m³. Assume the universe is filled with cubes with equal size that each contain one person of m = 100kg. What would the length of the side of such a cube have to be in order to give the correct critical density? How many hydrogen atoms would you need in a box of 1 m³ to reach the critical density? The matter we know, which consists mostly of hydrogen, constitutes only 4.8% of the current critical energy density of our universe. So how many hydrogen atoms are actually in a box of 1 m3 in our universe? Deep space is very empty and a much better vacuum than we can obtain on earth in a laboratory.arrow_forward
