The early universe (about 800 million years after the big bang) contained atomic hydrogen gas. accretion of gas onto early uv light which ionized the surrounding hydrogen. consider a quasar uv source emitting n photons per second into hydrogen gas of number density n per cm cubed. each photon ionizes i hydrogen atom. (assume n and n to be constant in time) super massive black holes (quasars) emitted the quasar after time r? b) using this expression calculate the rate of expansion dr/dt. under what conditions dr/dt be larger than c? given the constant speed of light this expression must be incorrect. in fact to account for th finite speed of light we calculate the volume ionized as the difference between the volur contained within a radius equal to the light horizon at time t, and the volume ionized duri the light crossing time of the region (equal to r/c) at time t. the latter are subtracted beca those photons did not encounter any hydrogen atoms yet. c) derive the correct expression for dr/dt d) show that this expression always has dr'dt

Asilver dollar is dropped from the top of a building that is 1324 feet tall. use the position function below for free-falling objects. s(t) = โˆ’16t2 + v0t + s0 (a) determine the position and velocity functions for the coin. s(t) = v(t) = (b) determine the average velocity on the interval [1, 2]. ft/s (c) find the instantaneous velocities when t = 1 second and t = 2 seconds. v(1) = ft/s v(2) = ft/s (d) find the time required for the coin to reach the ground level. (round your answer to three decimal places.) t = s (e) find the velocity of the coin at impact. (round your answer to three decimal places.) ft/s
