There was a great debate concerning the value of the Hubble constant. (NOTE: The presently accepted value of the Hubble constant is 72 km/s/Mpc as listed in your formula sheet.) One party believed the Hubble constant (Ho) was closer to 50 km/s/Mpc and the other party believed the Hubble constant was closer to 100 km/s/Mpc. Assuming you measure a recessional velocity of a galaxy of 10,000 km/s, what is the distance to that galaxy given the two different Hubble constants

(a). Distance to galaxy using 100 km/s/Mpc = _____ Mpc

(b). Distance to galaxy using 50 km/s/Mpc = _____ Mpc

(c). How do the different Hubble constants affect the calculated age of the universe?
