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.

At the normal boiling temperature of iron, TB = 3330 K, the rate of change of the vapor pressure of liquid iron with temperature
Margaret [11]

The molar latent enthalpy of boiling of iron at 3330 K is  ΔH = 342 \times 10^3 J.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Molar enthalpy of fusion is the amount of energy needed to change one mole of a substance from the solid phase to the liquid phase at constant temperature and pressure.

                      d ln p = (ΔH / RT^2) dt

                   (1/p) dp = (ΔH / RT^2) dt

                    dp / dt = p (ΔH / RT^2) = 3.72 \times 10^-3

                  (p) (ΔH) / (8.31) (3330)^2 = 3.72 \times 10^-3

                          ΔH = 342 \times 10^3 J.

A Porsche challenges a Honda to a 400-m race. Because the Porsche's acceleration of 3.5 m/s² is larger than the Honda's 3.0 m/s²
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer: The Porsche Wins. Arrives 19secs earlier before the Honda.

Explanation: The head start of 1secs corresponded with the difference in acceleration {3.5m/s² - 3m/s²}=0.5m/s²

Using the first equation of motion we obtain the velocity which correspond to this acceleration (0.5m/s²) and time of 1secs where initial velocity u = 0

V = u + at

V= 0 + at

V = 0.5 * 1 = 0.5m/s

Now let find the velocity of each of the car.

If V. a

0.5m/s 0.5m/s²

........m/s. 3.5m/s²

Velocity of porche Vp

= (3.5/0.5) * 0.5 = 3.5 m/s

Also if. V. a

0.5m/s. 0.5m/s²

.....m/s. 3 m/s²

Velocity of Honda Vh

= {3/0.5} * 0.5 = 3m/s

So let's find the time t taken by both cars to cover the distance of 400m

Recall,

Velocity = distance/time

Time t = distance/velocity

For Porche, t = 400/3.5 =114.29secs

For Honda, t = 400/3 = 133.33secs

Looking critically, we noticed that Porche car took shorter time.

The difference In time is

= (133.33 - 114.29)secs = 19.04secs

The upward and downward movement of air in the atmosphere creates pressure systems. Arrange the steps in the correct order to de
OleMash [197]

Answer:

  1. Cool, dense air begins to sink downward.
  2. A high-pressure system forms.
  3. Pressure differences cause wind to blow outward.
  4. The skies clear, making way for pleasant weather.

Explanation:

The air near the land warms up and rises. Cool dense air sinks being heavier. This creates a pressure difference. A high pressure system forms. This difference leads to blowing of wind from High pressure to low pressure area. Eventually sky gets clear and we experience pleasant weather. Hence, the correct order to describe this is:

  1. Cool, dense air begins to sink downward.
  2. A high-pressure system forms.
  3. Pressure differences cause wind to blow outward.
  4. The skies clear, making way for pleasant weather.
