Answer: the moon is closer.

Explanation:

The moon is closer to the earth than the sun, which results in a larger gravitational gradient for the moon even though the sun is considerably more massive and has stronger overall gravity than the moon.

Let the Blaise runs for time "t" to complete the race

so the total distance he moved is given by

$d_1 = 1* t$

Now Issac runs for time t = "t - 2*60"

because it took rest for 2 minutes

$d_2 = 2*(t - 120)$

now it is given that Blaise wins by 10 m distance

$d_1 - d_2 = 10$

$1* t - 2*(t - 120) = 10$

$t - 2t + 240 = 10$

$t = 230 s$

now the distance moved by Blaise is given by

$d_1 = 1*230 = 230 m$

Density is the best property to use, as while multiple different metals could create cubes with the same color, mass, or volume, no different metal could create a cube with the same mass and volume. Density is based on mass and volume, and as a result no two different metals will have the same density.
