Answer to Problem 1QP

The correct order of size from smallest to largest is g>b>a>c>e>f>d.

Explanation of Solution

A star is considered to be the fundamental part of the galaxy. A star has several planets revolving around it and a collection of such several stars is considered to be the star clusters. This collection of the stars together forms a galaxy.

A galaxy is considered to be a huge collection of the star systems. The collection of the several galaxies maxes up a local group of the galaxies and several such small groups of the galaxies comprise of the super clusters of the galaxies.

The collection of the local group comprising of the Milky Way galaxy along with the other smaller local groups is termed as the Virgo super cluster and the Virgo super cluster is present in the Laniakea super cluster. The collection of the super cluster is termed as the walls.

Therefore, the correct increasing order of the size for the celestial bodies is a star, star clusters, a galaxy, the Local Group, Virgo Cluster, Laniakea and a wall.

Conclusion:

Thus, the correct order of size from smallest to largest is g>b>a>c>e>f>d.

(1) Fm Fmn mn Fm B W₁ e Fmt W 0 Fit Wt 0 W Fit Fin n Fmt n As illustrated in Fig. consider the person performing extension/flexion movements of the lower leg about the knee joint (point O) to investigate the forces and torques produced by muscles crossing the knee joint. The setup of the experiment is described in Example above. The geometric parameters of the model under investigation, some of the forces acting on the lower leg and its free-body diagrams are shown in Figs. and For this system, the angular displacement, angular velocity, and angular accelera- tion of the lower leg were computed using data obtained during the experiment such that at an instant when 0 = 65°, @ = 4.5 rad/s, and a = 180 rad/s². Furthermore, for this sys- tem assume that a = 4.0 cm, b = 23 cm, ß = 25°, and the net torque generated about the knee joint is M₁ = 55 Nm. If the torque generated about the knee joint by the weight of the lower leg is Mw 11.5 Nm, determine: = The moment arm a of Fm relative to the…
The figure shows a particle that carries a charge of 90 = -2.50 × 106 C. It is moving along the +y -> axis at a speed of v = 4.79 × 106 m/s. A magnetic field B of magnitude 3.24 × 10-5 T is directed along the +z axis, and an electric field E of magnitude 127 N/C points along the -x axis. Determine (a) the magnitude and (b) direction (as an angle within x-y plane with respect to +x- axis in the range (-180°, 180°]) of the net force that acts on the particle. +x +z AB 90 +y
