<u>Answer:</u>
The correct answer option is D. The distance between the planet and the Sun changes as the planet orbits the sun.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Kepler’s laws of planetary motion, derived by the German astronomer Johannes Kepler, are the laws of physics that describe the motions of the planets in the solar system.
According to the Kepler's first law of planetary motion: the path on which the planets orbit around the sun is elliptical in shape, with the center of the sun at one focus.
Therefore, the distance between the Sun and the planets vary as the planet orbit around the sun.

Explanation:
Assuming the wall is frictionless, there are four forces acting on the ladder.
Weight pulling down at the center of the ladder (mg).
Reaction force pushing to the left at the wall (Rw).
Reaction force pushing up at the foot of the ladder (Rf).
Friction force pushing to the right at the foot of the ladder (Ff).
(a) Calculate the reaction force at the wall.
Take the sum of the moments about the foot of the ladder.
∑τ = Iα
Rw (3.0 sin 60°) − mg (1.5 cos 60°) = 0
Rw (3.0 sin 60°) = mg (1.5 cos 60°)
Rw = mg / (2 tan 60°)
Rw = (10 kg) (9.8 m/s²) / (2√3)
Rw = 28 N
(b) State the friction at the foot of the ladder.
Take the sum of the forces in the x direction.
∑F = ma
Ff − Rw = 0
Ff = Rw
Ff = 28 N
(c) State the reaction at the foot of the ladder.
Take the sum of the forces in the y direction.
∑F = ma
Rf − mg = 0
Rf = mg
Rf = 98 N
