The rank in the order of smallest to largest.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1QP
The rank in the order of smallest to largest is
Explanation of Solution
Earth revolves around the Sun, and the diameter of sun is about 109 times greater than the diameter of Earth.
Solar System is the gravitationally bound system which consists of Sun, Earth and other bodies.
Milky Way galaxy is the galaxy in which the solar system reside.
Local Group is the group of few dozen galaxies like Milky Way galaxy.
Virgo Supercluster is the group of thousands of galaxies.
Laniakea Supercluster is the even larger grouping of galaxies than Virgo supercluster.
Universe is the all of space and time that exist.
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

The rectangular loop of wire shown in the figure (Figure 1) has a mass of 0.18 g per centimeter of length and is pivoted about side ab on a frictionless axis. The current in the wire is 8.5 A in the direction shown. Find the magnitude of the magnetic field parallel to the y-axis that will cause the loop to swing up until its plane makes an angle of 30.0 ∘ with the yz-plane. The answer is .028 T, I just need help understanding how to do it. Please show all steps.
A ray of light from an object you want to look at strikes a mirror so that the light ray makes a 32 degree angle relative to the normal line (a line perpendicular to the surface of the mirror at the point where the ray strikes the mirror). If you want to see the object in the mirror, what angle does your line of sight need to make relative to the normal line? Give your answer as the number of degrees.
