Describe the relationship between a galaxy's distance from Galaxy A and the speed at which the galaxy appears to be moving away from Galaxy A.

Step 1
This relationship is described by the equation: \( V = H_0 \times d \), where \( V \) is the speed, \( H_0 \) is the Hubble constant, and \( d \) is the distance. Show more…

Problem 29: A galaxy is observed to be receding from us at 3.9% of the speed of light.What is the approximate distance, in light years , to the galaxy?
Madhur L.
Galaxy A is measured to be receding from us on Earth with a speed of $0.3 c .$ Galaxy $\mathrm{B}$, located in precisely the opposite direction, is also receding from us at the same speed. What recessional velocity will an observer on galaxy A measure (a) for our galaxy, and (b) for galaxy B?
Galaxy A is moving away from us with a speed of $0.75 c$ relative to the earth. Galaxy B is moving away from us in the opposite direction with a relative speed of $0.55 c$. Assume that the earth and constant velocities, so they are inertial reference frames. How fast is galaxy A moving according to an observer in galaxy B?
