What object best represents a true scale model of the shape of earth?

Any object that is spherical in shape would best represent a true scale model of the shape of the Earth. Examples are ping pong balls, billiard balls, marble and other smooth spherical objects. The shape of the Earth is called the oblate spheroid. The "oblate" would refer to an oblong shape and "spheroid" would refer to an almost spherical shape. The earth has on almost spherical shape and has a slightly oblong appearance. The diameter from the South pole to the north pole was measured to have a value of 12714 km while the diameter of the equator is approximately 12756 km. As you can see, the values are not equal. This makes the earth not a perfect sphere.

Answer:149.73 ml

Explanation:

Given

$\beta \ of\ acetone=1.50\times 10^{-4} ^{\circ}C^{-1}$

change in volume is given by

$\Delta V=V_{final}-V_{initial}$

$\Delta V=\nu_{initial}\beta _{acetone}\left [ T_f-T_i\right ]$

$V_{final}=\nu_{initial}+\nu_{initial}\beta _{acetone}\left [ T_f-T_i\right ]$

$V_{final}=150+150\times 1.50\times 10^{-4}\left [ 20-32\right ]$

$V_{final}=149.73 ml$

Paula has gone 1 km east as the total displacement. The total distance would be 7 km. Why? Well, the difference between displacement and distance is displacement is directional which is why it’s included in velocity and not speed. However, distance is more broad and not as specific.
