A physical model would be appropriate for describing the tangible objects such as gold coin, car engine, and virus. On the other hand, air pollution and the spread of sexually transmitted disease are intangible concepts that can be better described by a conceptual model. The dollar bill could be described by either model, as it represents a tangible object but also carries a symbolic value.
