The answer is c because the farther apart they are the greater there gravity is
It's about 6 minutes, as I seem to recall. Sort of the time for the earth to go into shadow darkness when there's an eclipse ???
The statement that can be used to answer this question is:
"If the cylinder is brought higher then, its temperature when brought down becomes higher because a greater amount of potential energy is converted to thermal energy."
The potential energy is converted to thermal energy when the object is released the velocity becomes higher because of the acceleration due to gravity.
Explanation:
Orbital speed= 2pi x radius / time period
=2pi x 1.5x10^11 / 365.25
=2.58x10^9m/day
Sound travels through solids the fastest
Hope it helps...
