Total questions: 20
Worksheet time: 10mins
Gnome Universe lab: according to our expanding universe lab, how old was the "gnome universe" at the end of our taking data?
Approximately 0 "years" old
Approximately 1 "years" old
Approximately 2 "years" old
Approximately 14 "years" old
Gnome universe lab: which of the following was NOT a galaxy in our expanding universe lab video
Sobrero
M101
Tadpole
Milky Way
Gnome Universe Lab: According to the expanding universe lab, what two variables are compared on the Hubble Diagram Graph. 2 answer choices
Distance to galaxy at time 2
Recessional speed of galaxy
Distance to Galaxy at time 1
time in years
Gnome Universe Lab: What was the slope of the Hubble Diagram Graph called/represent?
The Hubble Constant
The age of the universe
The size of the universe
Gnomes, definitely Gnomes
Shape of space Video: What is the curvature of the universe like according to the best data we have currently.
Flat - special case open
Potato (positive Curve) Closed
Hyperbolic (negative curve) Open
Shape of space video: What happens to two parallel beams of light in FLAT space
They stay parallel ==
The will eventually converge => (come together)
They will eventually diverge =< (spread apart)
Shape of space video: What happens to two parallel beams of light in Positively curved space. (super potato)
They stay parallel ==
The will eventually converge => (come together)
They will eventually diverge =< (spread apart)
Shape of universe video: What are the TWO ways of measuring the curvature of space?
Measure triangles in space and see if angle values add up to 180 degrees
density of matter and energy (average number of hydrogen atoms per cubic centimeter)
Measure the red shift of nearby stars and galaxies
Electron Decay Measure the amount of time it will take an electron to decay to smaller subatomic particles.
END OF UNIVERSE VIDEO: Which of the following is NOT a way the universe could end.
Big Rip
Big Crunch
Big Freeze
Big Bang
END OF UNIVERSE VIDEO: what are the TWO things opposing each other that will determine how the universe ends?
Gravity
Dark Energy
Dark Matter
The strong Nuclear force
End of Universe Video: What is the most likely outcome/end of our universe?
Big Rip
Big Freeze
Big Crunch
Big Bang
a fundamental force of nature between two objects that is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their respective centers. It depends on nothing else.
Gravity
Dark Matter
Dark Energy
Hubble Constant
the energy of empty space to expand and causes the universe as a whole to expand, opposes gravity on a universal scale.
Gravity
Dark Matter
Dark Energy
Hubble Constant
slope of the line relating the speed of the galaxies away from each other and their distance apart from each other. Allows for the calculation of the age of the universe, also the slope in our GNOME universe lab video.
Gravity
Dark Matter
Dark Energy
Hubble Constant
material that does not emit any light (or not detected yet), but has a significant gravitational effect.
Gravity
Dark Matter
Dark Energy
Hubble Constant
a universe with too little matter (gravity) to stop the expansion (it has an ``open future''). Dark Energy wins; Results in Big Rip
Open Universe
Closed Universe
Flat Universe
a universe that stop expanding only after an infinite amount of time (a special case of an open universe). Gravity and Dark Energy ar balanced; Results in Big Freeze.
Open Universe
Closed Universe
Flat Universe
a universe with enough matter (gravity) to eventually stop the expansion and recollapse (it has a "closed future"). Gravity beats Dark energy; Results in Big Crunch
Open Universe
Closed Universe
Flat Universe
the universe stops expanding at an accelerating rate but doesn’t contract or expands at a constant non accelerating rate, slowly all energy is converted to heat, no more useful energy conversions and the universe freezes to death. Most likely end to universe according to data currently.
Big Rip
Big Crunch
Big Freeze
The universe starts shrinking then crushes to an infinitesimally small space and possibly spawns a new big bang - least likely to happen end according to data currently.
Big Rip
Big Crunch
Big Freeze
