1
What is used to find the distance to nearby stars using trigonometry?
  • Trigonometric Parallax
  • Hubble's Law
  • Cephied Variable

2
What is based on a parallax law and is used to find the distance to stars whose parallax can not be measured?
  • Cephied Variable
  • Spectroscopic Parallax
  • Hubble's Law
  • Trigonometric Parallax
3
We use the period-luminosity relationship and the ISL triangle to find their distance.
  • Trigonometric Parallax
  • Hubble's Law
  • Cepheid Variable Stars
  • Spectroscopic Parallax
4
  • 330 Light Years
  • 7,300 Light Years
  • 10 Light Years
  • 600 Light Years
5
What have a fixed maximum brightness that occurs a few weeks after the explosion?
  • Supernovas
  • Nebulas
  • Cepheid Variable Stars
  • Globular Clusters
6
Who discovered that except for a few nearby galaxies all other galaxies appear to be rushing away from us at ever increasing speed?
  • Newton
  • Hubble
  • Einstein
  • Doppler
7
Hubble's law of red shifts tells us that a galaxy 10x far away is traveling how much faster?
  • 100x
  • 1,000x
  • 10x
  • 10,000x
8
Hubble's law can be used to find the what by observing the red shift and reading odd the distance directly?
  • Light Intensity
  • How fast it is travelling
  • Power
  • Distance
9
Hubble's law is a straight line relationship (how homophobic) which we can verify using other techniques locally, but far away we must what to get distances we can not measure in any other way?
  • Extrapolate
  • Use Trigonometric Parallax
  • Use Spectroscopic Parallax
  • 300,000/73 = 4110 MPC
10
Hubble's constant has a present value of what?
  • 7,300 km/sec x 26 billion km/hr
  • 73 km/sec/Mpc (within 3%)
  • 300,000/73 = 4110 Mpc
  • E=Mc^2
11
Hubble's constant means that a galaxy 100 Mpc (330 million light years) away is moving at what?
  • 300,000/73 = 4110 Mpc
  • 73 km/sec/Mpc
  • 7,300 km/sec (over 26 billion km/hr)
  • 600 light years
12
Speed of light divided by Hubble's constant is what?
  • 73/600 Light Years = 0.0004110 Mpc
  • 7,300 km/sec / 600 Light Years = 4110 Mpc
  • 73 km/sec/Mpc
  • 300,000/73 = 4110 Mpc
13
The edge of the visible Universe is about how far away from Earth?
  • 13.8 Billion Light Years
  • 330 Million Light Years
  • 600,000 Million Light Years
  • 300,000 Billion Light Years
14
Any galaxies at the distance of the edge of the Universe are moving at the speed of light. Galaxies further away are moving how fast?
  • Nothing can go faster than the speed of light, so it travels at the speed of light
  • Faster than the speed of light
  • Slows down from the speed of light
  • It's unknown
15
If we can explain Hubble's law by imgining the Universe expanding uniformly like a rubber band, objects twice as far away from each other expand at what speed?
  • 10x the speed
  • Speed of light
  • Twice the speed
  • 600x the speed
16
We are the center of the Universe
  • True
  • False
