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.

Assuming the normal angle for stairs in a house, 37.0˚ with the horizontal, what is Kevin’s acceleration down the stairs?  The sled is always touching at least one stair so you can treat it the same as a ramp.  The coefficient of kinetic friction between the sled and the carpeted stairs is 0.708.
A helicopter pulls up and back on the truck with a force of  5.78⋅10^4 N at an angle of 30.0˚ from the horizontal.  The truck has a mass of 5.04⋅10^3 kg.  The truck’s engine applies a force on the truck that is in the x direction causing the truck to accelerate at 2.09 m/s2 in x.  A) What is the force the engine is exerting?   B) What is the normal force acting on the truck? Assume no acceleration in y.
Mikasa and her allies, from Attack on Titan, uses omni-directional mobility gear (ODM gear) to move from place to place.  The ODM gear launches out wires with grappling hooks they can use to swing through the city.  Mikasa, who has a mass of 68.0 kg, holds herself in place not moving with two wires from the ODM gear, as shown below with θ1 = 39.3°.  If the tension in the wire labeled T1 is 688 N, what tension, magnitude and direction, is needed in T2?
