0.284 liter is the answer
A positive acceleration indicates that the object sped up. This means that if you compare the first speed to the second, the second speed should be higher.
A negative acceleration indicates that the object has slowed down. This means that if you compare the first speed to the second, the second speed should be lower.
If an acceleration is 0, it means that it neither slowed down nor sped up.
Now let us analyze your problem by listing down the speed and the time:
At noon: 4 mi/hr
12:30 : 6 mi/hr
2:30 : 2 mi/hr
From noon to 12:30, you will notice that there is an increase in speed. This means that Tommy had a positive acceleration. (Rules out D.)
From 12:30 to 2:30, there is a decrease in speed. This would indicate that Tommy had a negative acceleration. (Rules out C.)
No speed was the same, so acceleration was never 0. (Rules out A.)
From the assumptions above, we can now deduce that the answer is B.
The Earth, Mars or Jupiter should be denser than the Sun. Density is defined by mass and volume — components of object or matter. Although the sun is huge, it’s component is made up of mostly gas (hydrogen and helium). While Earth, though smaller than the Sun, contains heavier elements such as iron, sulfur, rocks, sediments, granite, basalt and water. Mars (composed of rocks and nutrients) and Jupiter (contains gases and compounds) as well are denser when compared to the Sun’s density. Referencing to our basic understanding of matter: solid and liquid should be heavier than gas.
Answer:
I think that is the literal answer
