Answer to Problem 1QP

The rank in the order of smallest to largest is f<e<c<b<a<h<g<d.

Explanation of Solution

Earth revolves around the Sun, and the diameter of sun is about 109 times greater than the diameter of Earth. Sun>Earth.

Solar System is the gravitationally bound system which consists of Sun, Earth and other bodies. Solar system>Sun.

Milky Way galaxy is the galaxy in which the solar system reside. Milky Way> Solar system.

Local Group is the group of few dozen galaxies like Milky Way galaxy. Local group> Milky Way.

Virgo Supercluster is the group of thousands of galaxies. Virgo Supercluster>local group.

Laniakea Supercluster is the even larger grouping of galaxies than Virgo supercluster. Laniakea Supercluster > Virgo Supercluster.

Universe is the all of space and time that exist. Universe> Laniakea Supercluster.

Conclusion:

The rank in the order of smallest to largest is Earth<Sun<Solar system<Milky way<local group<milkyway<virgo supercluster< Laniakea Supercluster<Universe.

The rank in the order of smallest to largest is f<e<c<b<a<h<g<d.

In the following figure the circuit to the left has a switch thatat t = 0 s is switched and disconnects the battery from the circuit. The state depicted on thefigure is right after the switch, still t = 0. As the current decreases over time, the magneticflux through the circuit on the right (due to the long cable of the circuit on the left) changesand induces an EMF on the right circuit. How much power is consumed by R2 as a functionof time.The distance between the wire on the left and the closest wire on the right is r = 2.0 cm.The size of the circuit on the right is noted on the figure.
