Describe succinctly the relationship between how far a galaxy is from us (its distance), versus how fast it is moving.

Distance is directly proportional to the velocity

Explanation:

In 1929, Edwin Hubble's wrote an article that talked about relationship between the distance and recession speed/velocity of galaxies which led to what is known as the Hubble Law. This law states that galaxies are moving away from the earth at velocities proportional to their distances.

Thus is written as;

v = H_o•d

Where;

v is velocity

d is distance

H_o is Hubble's constant rate of cosmic expansion.

He came to this conclusion by generating a graph known as Hubble's classic graph which was a graph of observed velocity vs distance for nearby galaxies.

grav forces affect all objects magnetic forces affect magnetic objects and electric currents

  distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.

explanation:

the instantaneous velocity = change in position/time taken

the slope of the graph should give instantaneous velocity.

  slope of a graph = change in value of y -axis / change in values of x -axis

  comparing both the equations

    change in value of y -axis = change in position

  change in values of x -axis = time taken

so position values should be on the y axis and time values should be on the x axis.

distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.
