PART a)
As we know that gravitational potential energy is given by the formula
here we can see that gravitational potential energy inversely varies with the distance
so here when distance from the sun is minimum then magnitude of gravitational potential energy is maximum while since it is given with negative sign so its overall value is minimum at that position
So gravitational potential energy is minimum at the nearest point and maximum at the farthest point
PART b)
Since we know that sum of kinetic energy and potential energy is constant here
so the points of minimum potential energy is the point where kinetic energy is maximum which means speed is maximum
So here speed is maximum at the nearest point
Part C)
since gravitational potential energy inversely varies with distance so it's graph will be like hyperbolic graph with distance
Answer:
The scientific method is a method of research with defined steps that include experiments and careful observation. One of the most important aspects of this method is the testing of hypotheses by means of repeatable experiments. A hypothesis is a suggested explanation for an event, which can be tested.
Answer:
0.423m
Explanation:
Conversion to metric unit
d = 4.8 cm = 0.048m
Let water density be 
Let gravitational acceleration g = 9.8 m/s2
Let x (m) be the length that the spring is stretched in equilibrium, x is also the length of the cylinder that is submerged in water since originally at a non-stretching position, the cylinder barely touches the water surface.
Now that the system is in equilibrium, the spring force and buoyancy force must equal to the gravity force of the cylinder. We have the following force equation:
Where 
N is the spring force, 
is the buoyancy force, which equals to the weight 
of the water displaced by the submerged portion of the cylinder, which is the product of water density 
, submerged volume 
and gravitational constant g. W = mg is the weight of the metal cylinder.
The submerged volume would be the product of cross-section area and the submerged length x
Plug that into our force equation and we have
D will hit last because if air resistance is null then the only force enacting on the balls is the force of gravity. Force of Gravity has an acceleration of 9.81 ms^2 and so every ball had the same acceleration and ball D is the furthest away from the floor.
