Hubble's Law (also known as the Hubble-Lemaitre Law) can be restated as:
A. The mass-to-light ratio of a spiral galaxy is greater if its rotational velocity is also greater. B. The more distant a galaxy, the faster it is receding. C. The rotation curve of a galaxy is related to the amount of mass inside. D. The velocity curves of spiral galaxies only make sense if there exists a lot of unseen matter.
What would happen to the core of the Sun if its temperature rose slightly?
A) The rate at which fusion occurs would decrease, leading to a contraction of the core, which would in turn cause the temperature to rise even further. B) The rate at which fusion occurs would increase, leading to a contraction of the core, which would in turn cause the temperature to rise even further. C) The rate at which fusion occurs would increase, leading to an expansion of the core, which would in turn cause the temperature to drop back down. D) The rate at which fusion occurs would decrease, leading to an expansion of the core, which would in turn cause the temperature to drop back down.
