Answer:

b

Explanation:

The Sun exert a gravitational pull on the earth just as the earth exert gravitational pull on the sun but the sun mass is bigger than the earth, hence the earth orbits round the sun in elliptical orbit due to the greater gravitational pull of the sun.

Rom4ik [11]
Final velocity = 0, thus final kinetic energy is 0
Initial kinetic energy:
0.5mv²
= 0.5 x 0.48 x 4.08²
= 4.0 J
Decrease in kinetic energy = 4 - 0 = 4 Joules

vagabundo [1.1K]
The characteristic of epithelial cells that makes them ideal for providing this type of protection is that the cells are packed tightly together. 
Skin, the body's largest organ,is our first and best defense against external aggressors. The many layers work hard to protect us, however when its condition is compromised, its ability to work as an effective barrier is impaired.

Ways we can reducing Surface Tension<br>​
valina [46]

Surface tension can change with the change in a medium that is just above the layer of the liquid's surface.

Explanation:

Pouring any oil or oily compounds (such as kerosene) on the free surface of the water will reduce the surface tension.

in the atmosphere directly affects the surface tension of the liquid.

If we increase the temperature of the water, then there is a high possibility of the surface tension of the water getting reduced, due to the fact that the net force of attraction is decreased.

Mixing surfactants or emulsifiers into the water will decrease the surface tension.

If the water is subjected to electrification, then the surface tension will be reduced.
