This question apparently wants you to get comfortable
with E = m c² . But I must say, this question is a lame
way to do it.
c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s
E = m c²
1.03 x 10⁻¹³ joule = (m) (3 x 10⁸ m/s)²
Divide each side by (3 x 10⁸ m/s)²:
Mass = (1.03 x 10⁻¹³ joule) / (9 x 10¹⁶ m²/s²)
= (1.03 / 9) x (10⁻¹³ ⁻ ¹⁶) (kg)
= 1.144 x 10⁻³⁰ kg . (choice-1)
This is roughly the mass of (1 and 1/4) electrons, so it seems
that it could never happen in nature. The question is just an
exercise in arithmetic, and not a particularly interesting one.

Something like this could have been much more impressive:
The Braidwood Nuclear Power Generating Station in northeastern
Ilinois USA serves Chicago and northern Illinois with electricity.
<span>The station has two pressurized water reactors, which can generate
a net total of 2,242 megawatts at full capacity, making it the largest
nuclear plant in the state.
If the Braidwood plant were able to completely convert mass
to energy, how much mass would it need to convert in order
to provide the total electrical energy that it generates in a year,
operating at full capacity ?
Energy = (2,242 x 10⁶ joule/sec) x (86,400 sec/day) x (365 da/yr)
= (2,242 x 10⁶ x 86,400 x 365) joules
= 7.0704 x 10¹⁶ joules .
How much converted mass is that ?
E = m c²
Divide each side by c² : Mass = E / c² .
c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s
Mass = (7.0704 x 10¹⁶ joules) / (9 x 10¹⁶ m²/s²)
= 0.786 kilogram ! ! !
THAT should impress us ! If I've done the arithmetic correctly,
then roughly (1 pound 11.7 ounces) of mass, if completely
converted to energy, would provide all the energy generated
by the largest nuclear power plant in Illinois, operating at max
capacity for a year !

Answer:
The acceleration is equal to the net force divided by the mass. If the net force acting on an object doubles, its acceleration is doubled. If the mass is doubled, then acceleration will be halved. If both the net force and the mass are doubled, the acceleration will be unchanged.

Answer:
D. It has been demonstrated to be without exception under certain stated conditions.
Explanation:
A principle is simply a proposition based on some results from some experiments. A principle becomes a law when it gains strength. That is when other scientists support and back it.
A scientific law is a statement that describes a natural phenomenon and is not contradicted by repeated experiments over the time.
Sir Isaac Newton's law of gravitation stated "A gravitational force exists between all objects in the universe. This force is directly proportional to the masses of the two objects and inversely proportional to the distance between them."
His law explained that every body in the universe attracts every other body. It explained that it is not just Earth that pulls us towards it. But even sun and moon has their own gravitational pull and so does all other objects. It is just that the Gravitational pull of some objects is negligible.
Newton's law of Gravitation is considered a universal law because it is applicable to almost all the bodies in the universe and is demonstrated to be correct for them under certain conditions.
