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.

Lighting a match changes chemical energy into heat and light. The total amount of energy _____.
Mariulka [41]
Hello.

The answer is <span>remains the same.

</span>The total amount of energy stays the same because the 1st Law of Thermodynamics states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, it can only change forms. <span>So the chemical energy is just being converted into heat and light.

How many electrons does it take to make up 4.33 C of charge?
Dovator [93]

Answer:

Number of electrons, n=2.7\times 10^{19}

Explanation:

It is given that,

Charge, q = 4.33 C

We need to find the number of electrons that make 4.33 C of charge. According to quantization of charge as :

q=ne

n = number of electrons

e = electron's charge

n=\dfrac{q}{e}

n=\dfrac{4.33\ C}{1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C}

n=2.7\times 10^{19}

So, the number of electrons are 2.7\times 10^{19} Hence, this is the required solution.

Y=k/x, x is halved.<br> what happens to the value of y
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

y is doubled

Explanation:

If x is halved, that means the value is doubled. Here is an exmaple:

y=1/2. If the denominater is doubled, y would equal y=1/1. So, the value of y has doubled from 0.5 to 1. Therefore, if the denominator is halved, the solution will be doubled.

The Coriolis effect
alexandr402 [8]
The coriolis effect is due to the rotation of the earth. Look up youtube videos on it, its pretty cool. If we didn't have coriolis effect then hurricane's wouldn't even form! Also it affects the trajectory of hurricanes. If you look at a path a hurricane takes it always curves quite a bit. That's also because of the coriolis affect. Imagine you're on a merry go round or on some spinning disk. You throw a ball towards the center. The ball will seem to curve away from your target because you're spinning. Now its not because the ball curved and you missed, the ball goes in a straight line but because of the spinning the target you aimed at shifted.
