Answer:
The Sun and planets are shown to the same scale. The small terrestrial planets and tiny Pluto are in the box---the Earth is the blue dot near the center of the box (montage created by Nick Strobel using NASA images).
Size
The Sun is by far the biggest thing in the solar system. From its angular size of about 0.5° and its distance of almost 150 million kilometers, its diameter is determined to be 1,392,000 kilometers. This is equal to 109 Earth diameters and almost 10 times the size of the largest planet, Jupiter. All of the planets orbit the Sun because of its enormous gravity. It has about 333,000 times the Earth's mass and is over 1,000 times as massive as Jupiter. It has so much mass that it is able to produce its own light. This feature is what distinguishes stars from planets.
Composition
What is the Sun made of? Spectroscopy shows that hydrogen makes up about 94% of the solar material, helium makes up about 6% of the Sun, and all the other elements make up just 0.13% (with oxygen, carbon, and nitrogen the three most abundant ``metals''---they make up 0.11%). In astronomy, any atom heavier than helium is called a ``metal'' atom. The Sun also has traces of neon, sodium, magnesium, aluminum, silicon, phosphorus, sulfur, potassium, and iron. The percentages quoted here are by the relative number of atoms. If you use the percentage by mass, you find that hydrogen makes up 78.5% of the Sun's mass, helium 19.7%, oxygen 0.86%, carbon 0.4%, iron 0.14%, and the other elements are 0.54%.

I am pretty sure its the second one but I could be wrong sorry if I am.

Explanation:
It is based upon the fact that " The light travels faster then sound." As the speed of light is faster then the speed of sound, light travels 300,000 km per second and sound travels 1192 km per hour. That is why we observe the lightening first and hear the the sound of thunder later.
You can do this experiment by yourself. Once you see the lightening start counting the seconds until you hear the sound of thunder.Then divide the seconds by 5, you will find out how many miles away the lightening strike was.
Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
The length of the rope is equal to the radius of the circle formed by the complete rotation of the rope. Therefore the radius = 1.50 m.
a) The distance covered by the rope when completing one rotation is the same as the perimeter of the circle. Hence:
Distance covered in one rotation = 2π * radius = 2π * 1.5 = 3π meters
The velocity of the ball = Distance / time = 3π meters / 3.4 seconds = 2.77 m/s
b) The initial velocity (u) is 0 m/s, the final velocity is 2.77 m/s during time (t) = 3.4 s. Hence acceleration (a):
v = u + at
2.77 = 3.4a
a = 0.82 m/s²
c) Force on ball = mass * acceleration = 4 * 0.82 = 3.28 N
