v = H0 * r

Explanation:

Hubble's law states that Every object in the observable universe is receding away from us at a speed proportional to it's distance. So, the greater the distance, the faster that object is traveling away from us. This can be given by,

v = H@ * r

Where,

v is the velocity.

H@ is the Hubble's constant, 70 km sec^-1 megaparsec^-1

This means that an object at a distance of 1 Megarparsec will have a speed of about 70 km/ sec.

r is the distance.
