Think about plotting the distances as points on a number line where 0 represents the position of the Sun. Based on your scaling work in question 1, what is one challenge of modeling the distances of inner and outer planets using the same scale? You can create a rough sketch to guide you.

The distance between an inner planet and the Sun is small compared with the distance between an outer planet and the Sun. If inner and outer planets are drawn to the same scale on a number line, the inner planets will bunch near zero (the Sun's position) and might appear on top of one another.

Explanation:

Mass, m = 1561.23kg

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Weight = 15300N

We know that acceleration due to gravity is equal to 9.8m/s²

To find mass;

Weight can be defined as the force acting on a body or an object as a result of gravity.

Mathematically, the weight of an object is given by the formula;

Where;

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Mass, m = 1561.23 Kg

Therefore, the mass of the car is 1561.23 kilograms.
