A scale drawing is a drawing of a real object such that the sides are accurately reduced or enlarged
Part A;
The maximum distance between Mars and Neptune, [tex]d_m[/tex] = 630 cm
Part B; Please find attached, the drawing of the planets, Mars and Neptune, located as far apart as possible
The reason the above value and drawing are correct is as follows:
Part A
The given parameters are;
The distance Mars is away from the Sun, D₁ = 1.5 AU
In the scale model Mars at d₁ = 30 cm from the Sun
The scale of the drawing is 1 AU = 20 cm
The distance of Neptune from the Sun, D₂ = 30 AU
The maximum distance between Mars and Neptune
The required parameter:
To find the maximum possible distance that can be drawn between Mars and Neptune
Solution:
The distance between Neptune and the Sun, on the scale drawing, d₂, is found as follows;
The scale of the drawing, s = 20 cm/(1 AU)
d₂ = D₂ × s
∴ d₂ = 30 AU × 20 cm/(1 AU) = 600 cm
The maximum distance between Mars and Neptune, [tex]d_m[/tex] = d₁ + d₂
[tex]d_m[/tex] = 30 cm + 600 cm = 630 cm
The maximum distance between Mars and Neptune, [tex]d_m[/tex] = 630 cm
Part B:
Please find attached the required drawing of the planets located as far as possible, created with MS Visio
