Answer:
The order of magnitude of the distance from the sun to Earth is 10⁸ km.
Explanation:
The order of magnitude of the distance from the sun to Earth can be calculated as follows:
Where:
c: is the speed of light = 3x10⁸ m/s
t: is the time = 8 min
Hence, the distance is:
Therefore, the order of magnitude of the distance from the sun to Earth is 10⁸ km.

Answer:
Explanation:
Let initial extension in the spring= x₀
Force on the spring = F₀
Let spring constant = k
Fo = k x₀
Fn = 3k x₀
Fn /Fo = 3
PEs0 ( ORIGINAL) =1/2 k x₀²
PEsn ( NEW) =1/2 k (3x₀)²
PEsn / PEs0 = 9
Answer:
The type of mechanical energy that is possessed due to the virtue of motion or state of a body is known as potential energy.
Its formula: PE= mgh
Its SI unit is joule.

The equal and opposite force is the force of the stone's gravity pulling up on thy Earth.
<u>Explanation</u>:
- When someone tosses a stone off a cliff, the force of gravity of Earth pulls down and the force of the stone's gravity pulls up on the Earth due to the equal and opposite reaction exerted between the Earth and the stone.
- In Newton's third law, two important features are present. One is the force exerted on two bodies will have the same magnitude but opposite direction. The other feature is force is acting on two different objects.
- This exerted force is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction whereas the gravity exerts a downward force on a stone and upward force on an Earth which is opposite in direction.
We know, Mechanical Energy = K.E. + P.E.
As ball is at ground, P.E. would be zero. But as it is in motion, it must have some K.E. and that is:
K.E. = 1/2 mv²
K.E. = 1/2 * 1 * 2²
K.E. = 4/2
K.E. = 2 J
In short, Your Answer would be Option B
Hope this helps!
