I haven't worked on Part-A, and I don't happen to know the magnitude of the gravitational force that the Sun exerts on the Earth.
But whatever it is, it's exactly, precisely, identical, the same, and equal to the magnitude of the gravitational force that the Earth exerts on the Sun.
I think that's the THIRD choice here, but I'm not sure of that either.
If it were possible for an object to fall freely near the surface of the Earth,
-- The direction of its velocity would always be "down"; that is, toward the center of the Earth.
-- The size of its velocity would continually increase, at the rate of 9.8 meters per second for every second it falls.
Explanation:
Dark Energy. Dark Energy is a hypothetical form of energy that exerts a negative, repulsive pressure, behaving like the opposite of gravity. It has been hypothesised to account for the observational properties of distant type Ia supernovae, which show the universe going through an accelerated period of expansion
