Problem 01. Find the redshift z for a Hydrogen spectral line originally at 656 nm which
has been observed at a wavelength of 1.64 μm.

Problem 02. How much smaller was the universe when this light was emitted?
U₁ = DHO
Using the redshift to measure the velocity, we find

0.1 Hubble's Law
Hubble's Law states that the recession velocity of a redshifted galaxy is given by the product
of the distance and the Hubble constant.

ZC
Ho
where c = 3 x 108 m/s and Ho = 2.3 x 10-18 s in standard units. The standard measurement
of the Hubble constant is Ho = 71 (km/s)/Mpc.
Problem 03. What is the distance in Mpc and ly to the galaxy measured in problem 01?
1 pc = 3.26 ly.
Can someone please explain how we get to the final answer here???
Question:
How far does the runner travel during the 3s?
Here is the equation I should be using**
s = ut + 1/2 (3m/s2)(3s)2
Which is apparently 13.5M
Can someone show me how the calculations are done???

- Figure P38.21 shows a jet of material (at the upper right) being ejected by galaxy M87 (at the lower left). Such jets are believed to be evidence of supermassive black holes at the center of a galaxy. Suppose two jets of material from the center of a galaxy are ejected in opposite directions. Both jets move at 0.750c relative to the galaxy center. Determine the speed of one jet relative to the other.
