If a scale of the solar system was built where 1 mm equaled 1 mile, could the model be practically built in a city?

No, it couldn't be.
On that scale, Neptune would be almost 1,740 MILES from the sun.
ON THAT SCALE !

Answer:

No

Explanation:

Given the relative scale (1mm = 1mile) lets calculate the size of the Sun and distance of planets from the Sun in mm.

Diameter of Sun = 864938 miles = 864938 mm = 864.938 meters

Distance of Earth from the Sun = 92955810 miles = 92955810 mm = 92.955 km = 57.75 miles

Distance of Jupiter from Sun = 480000000 miles = 480000000 mm = 480 km = 298 miles

As can be seen, the magnitude of scaled down distances is too huge to fit inside a city.

It will not be practically possible to make such a model.

⦁ A 68 kg crate is dragged across a floor by pulling on a rope attached to the crate and inclined 15° above the horizontal. (a)
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

303.29N and 1.44m/s^2

Explanation:

Make sure to label each vector with none, mg, fk, a, FN or T

Given

Mass m = 68.0 kg

Angle θ = 15.0°

g = 9.8m/s^2

Coefficient of static friction μs = 0.50

Coefficient of kinetic friction μk =0.35

Solution

Vertically

N = mg - Fsinθ

Horizontally

Fs = F cos θ

μsN = Fcos θ

μs( mg- Fsinθ) = Fcos θ

μsmg - μsFsinθ = Fcos θ

μsmg = Fcos θ + μsFsinθ

F = μsmg/ cos θ + μs sinθ

F = 0.5×68×9.8/cos 15×0.5×sin15

F = 332.2/0.9659+0.5×0.2588

F =332.2/1.0953

F = 303.29N

Fnet = F - Fk

ma = F - μkN

a = F - μk( mg - Fsinθ)

a = 303.29 - 0.35(68.0 * 9.8- 303.29*sin15)/68.0

303.29-0.35( 666.4 - 303.29*0.2588)/68.0

303.29-0.35(666.4-78.491)/68.0

303.29-0.35(587.90)/68.0

(303.29-205.45)/68.0

97.83/68.0

a = 1.438m/s^2

a = 1.44m/s^2

Hoochie [10]
This is an example of inertia - the body keeps it's energy because there is no force applied to it. When we try to stop it's motion, it resists. A man is not rigidly attached to the bus, so he keeps moving forward, at least until he hits the front window from inside. Answer is D.
