Divide your answer to #8 by 1,000,000 to get the distance in megaparsecs. gaparsecs = 20.89296131 If the velocity v of M100 is 1375 kmlsec. use your answer to question #9 and equation (1) from the introduction to calculate Ho. The units for H0 in this step will be kmlslMpc. nfslMpc = 65.82 A megaparsec is equal to 3.1 x 10 19 kilometers. So the value of Ho can be simplified by dividing your answer to question #10 by 3.1 x 10 19 kilometersl'megaparsec. Note that the units for H0 in this step will be 11's. r 5: Now. in order to answer the pre-lab question, you learned that when the Hubble constant is expressed in units of ifs the reciprocal of the Hubble constant is equal to the age of the universe in seconds. Therefore, calculate the age of the universe by calculating 1fHo using your value for H, from question #11. the Universe in seconds: There are 3.15 x 1015 seconds in 1 billion years. So divide the age you calculated in question #12 by this value to find the age of the universe in billions of years. the Universe in billions of years: What is the currently accepted age of the universe in billions of years? (You should consult your textbook to answer this question.) tly Accepted Age of the Universe: How does the age of the universe you calculated in question #13 compare with the currently accepted age? If they are different, what do you think is the most likely source of error in your calculated age
