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 steam engine takes in superheated steam at 270 °C and discharges condensed steam from its cylinder at 50 °C. The engine has an
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

b) 20 kJ

Explanation:

Efficiency of carnot engine = (T₁ - T₂ ) / T₁  Where T₁ is temperature of hot source  and T₂ is temperature of sink .

T₁ = 270 + 273 = 543K

T₂ = 50 + 273 = 323 K

Putting the given values of temperatures

efficiency = (543 - 323) / 543

= .405

heat input = 50 KJ

efficiency = output work / input heat energy

.405 = output work / 50

output work = 20.25 KJ.

= 20 KJ .

A Carnot heat engine uses a hot reservoir consisting of a large amount of boiling water and a cold reservoir consisting of a lar
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

W=4037.36\ J

Explanation:

Given:

mass of ice melted, m=3.3\times10^{-2}\ kg

time taken by the ice to melt, t=5\ min=300\ s

latent heat of the ice, L=3.34\times 10^5\ J

Now the heat rejected by the Carnot engine:

Q_R=m.L

Q_R=0.033\times 3.34\times 10^5

Q_R=11022\ J

Since we have boiling water as hot reservoir so:

T_H=373\ K

The cold reservoir is ice, so:

T_L=273\ K

Now the efficiency:

\eta=1-\frac{T_L}{T_H}

\eta=1-\frac{273}{373}

\eta=26.81\%

Now form the law of energy conservation:

Heat supplied:

Q_S-W=Q_R

where:

Q_S= heat supplied to the engine

Q_S-\eta\times Q_S=Q_R

Q_S(1-\eta)=Q_R

Q_S=\frac{11022}{1-0.2681}

Q_S=15059.36\ J

Now the work done:

W=Q_S-Q_R

W=15059.36-11022

W=4037.36\ J

One advantage of the hubble space telescope over ground based ones is that
vladimir1956 [14]

Space telescopes have the advantage of being above the blurring effects of the Earth's atmosphere.

A surrounding is a layer of fuel or layers of gases that envelop a planet and is held in a region through the gravity of the planetary frame. A planet retains its surroundings whilst the gravity is exceptional and the temperature of the surroundings is low. A stellar ecosystem is the outer area of a celeb, which includes the layers above the opaque photosphere; stars of low temperature may have outer atmospheres containing compound molecules.

The atmosphere of Earth consists of nitrogen (78%), oxygen (21%), argon (0.9%), carbon dioxide (0.04%), and trace gases. most organisms use oxygen for breathing; lightning and bacteria perform nitrogen fixation to provide ammonia that is used to make nucleotides and amino acids; flora, algae, and cyanobacteria use carbon dioxide for photosynthesis.

The layered composition of the ecosystem minimizes the damaging results of daylight, ultraviolet radiation, solar wind, and cosmic rays to defend organisms from genetic harm. The modern composition of the atmosphere of the Earth is made from billions of years of biochemical modification of the paleo atmosphere by residing organisms.
