The expansion rate of the Universe is usually given as something like 70 km s−1 Mpc−1. If you convert this quantity to SI base units of kg, m, s, what is this number and in what units? What do you think this means for the age of the Universe? Give an estimate for the age of the Universe, in s and in billions of years.
Given Hubble constant = 70 km/sec/Mpc
1Mpc = 3.0857*1019 km
converting Mpc to km then
Hubble constant = 70 km/sec/Mpc / 3.0857*1019km
Hubble constant = 22.683*10-19 sec-1
hence number is 22.683*10^-19 and unit is per sec orsec-1
Velocity = Hubble constant/ distance
Hubble constant = Velocity / distance
Time =distance / velocity
Age of universe is the inversely proportional to hubble constant.
Time =1/ Hubble constant
Time =1/ 22.683 *10-19 sec-1
Time = 4.41*1017 sec
We know 1 sec = 3.17098*10-8 years
4.41*1017 sec = 13.98 *10^9 years
Time = 13.98 billion of years
Hence age of universe
Age of universe , t = 4.41 *10^17 sec
Age of universe =13.98 billion of years

Professional astronomers usually talk about Hubble's Constant in the weird units of H, = 70 km/sec/Mpc. This final unit, "Mpo" is the "Megaparsec" and it equals approximately 3 million light years. This is a powerful equation. It...

1. Calculate the size of the universe, in two ways a) rate of expansion (100 km/s) multiplied by time since the big bang (14 B yr). b) distance traveled by light from the furthest star (42 B light yr), where l light yr = 9.41012 km. Give the answer in km. 2. The approximate position of Puerto Rico is given in the table below. Calculate the rate of'drift in each era from plate tectonics, and give the answer in km/yr...
The Hubble Parameter The constant describing the rate of this recession, called the Hubble parameterHubble parameterA measure of the rate of expansion of the universe, which is the average value of the velocity of recession divided by distance: about 70 km/s/megaparsec. Hubble parameter A measure of the rate of expansion of the universe, which is the average value of the velocity of recession divided by distance: about 70 km/s/megaparsec. , is used to determine the age and size of the...
EXPERIMENT 12 Name MEASUREMENT OF THE GAS CONSTANT PRE-LAB EXERCISES Central to the study of gases is the idea of pressure. Historically pressure was determined as the ability the raise a column of mercury (Hg) to a particular height. Today, pressures are still often (erroneously) quoted just as a simple distance measurement, such as 75 cm. What is really meant is a column of Hg 75 cm high, so it is not too bad to say P - 75 cm...

1. During a given year, the following activities occur in a simple economy consisting of a miller and a baker The miller pays his workers $ 250,000 to mill 120 tons of flour. The flour is then sold to a baker for $ 530,000. The baker pays his workers 340,000 to make 750,000 loaves of bread, which she then sells directly to consumers for $ 1,000,000. a. Using the "final goods" approach, what is the GDP in this economy? b....

1. Socially Optimal Thneed Production (Graphical Analysis) based on Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax. There is only one question, but it has several parts, (a) through (J), below, plus (k) and (l) for extra credit. The demand curve and supply curve for Thneeds (“A fine something that all people need,” according to the Once-ler Group’s web site) are given by QD= 100 –5P and QS = 2.5P – 5 [HINT: these are regular—that is economically sensible—demand and supply curves that say...
