Answer

The extra distance between us and the object after one year is $~~1.0\times 10^{10}~m$

Work Step by Step

We can find the extra distance between us and the object after one year: $v = H~R$ $\frac{d}{t} = H~r$ $d = H~r~t$ $d = (0.0218~m/s~ly)(1.5\times 10^4~ly)(365)(24)(3600~s)$ $d = 1.0\times 10^{10}~m$ The extra distance between us and the object after one year is $~~1.0\times 10^{10}~m$
