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

Answer:

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.

The magnet has an unchanging magnetic field: very strong near the magnet, and weak far from the magnet. How did the magnetic fie

STatiana [176]

Answer:

<em>The magnetic field through the coil at first increases steadily up to its maximum value, and then decreases gradually to its minimum value.</em>

Explanation:

At first, the magnet fall towards the coils; inducing a gradually increasing magnetic field through the coil as it falls into the coil. At the instance when half the magnet coincides with the coil, the magnetic field magnitude on the coil is at its maximum value. When the magnet falls pass the coil towards the floor, the magnetic field then starts to decrease gradually from a strong magnitude to a weak magnitude.

This action creates a changing magnetic flux around the coil. The result is that an induced current is induced in the coil, and the induced current in the coil will flow in such a way as to oppose the action of the falling magnet. This is based on lenz law that states that the induced current acts in such a way as to oppose the motion or the action that produces it.

Why are there zero hours of daylight at the north pole and south pole in the winter

raketka [301]

Answer:

The seasons are caused by the tilt of Earth's axis in relation to the sun. ... During summer, Antarctica is on the side of Earth tilted toward the sun and is in constant sunlight. In the winter, Antarctica is on the side of Earth tilted away from the sun, causing the continent to be dark.

Radio waves travel at a speed of 300,000,000 m/s. WFNX broadcasts radio waves at a

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

Wavelength, $\lambda=2.94\ m$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of radio waves is $v=3\times 10^8\ m/s$

Frequency of radio waves is f = 101,700,000 Hz

We need to find the wavelength of WFNX’s radio waves. The relation between wavelength, frequency and speed of a wave is given by :

$v=f\lambda$

$\lambda$ is wavelength

$\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{101,700,000}\\\\\lambda=2.94\ m$

So, the wavelength of WFNX’s radio waves is 2.94 m.

The motion of a car on a position time graph is represented with a horizontal tine What does this indicate about the car's motio

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Position-Time graphs display the motion of a object by showing the changes of velocity with respect to time.

The motion of a car on a position-time graph that is represented with a horizontal line indicates that the car has stopped moving.

A straight line with a positive slope indicates that the car is moving at a constant velocity, and thus the slope is constant. On the other hand, a curve with a changing slope, shows that the velocity is changing.
