What are some advantages an limitations of models?

Answer 1

1. They look like the real thing.

2. they help to observe certain objects and scientific processes

Answer 2

scientific models have limitations, in part, because many objects could not be modeled to scale.

For instance, if you make a model of an atom, and make 1 proton the size of a marble, the first electron will be about a mile away, and microscopic in size.

Also, the solar system is a good example. The distance between the sun and each of the planets is much greater then is generally shown because they would spread over a few hundred yards by making the sun only the size of a basket ball, and the size of the planets is not done to scale because to make the smallest planet, Mercury, just 1 inch in diameter, jupiter would be almost 30 inches, or 2 1/2 feet in diameter, and the sun would be nearly 24 feet in diameter.

Answer 3

Age, size/measurements and length of career are all common limitations when it comes to modeling. There are various categories that models are broken down into and each has its own specific requirements. Because of the competitive and selective nature of modeling, it is also difficult to be a successful model for many years.

Answer 5

limitations: they can't do what the actual object does. and advantage: they can show you how it works (sometimes) or how it looks inside or outside.

Answer 6

Sometimes models provide data when data cannot be acquired from natural objects or events.

Answer 7

one thing is that you wont be able to snack like you would want to.
