Essentially, an increase in mass means an increase in gravity, while a decrease in mass means a decrease in gravity. So if the Sun spontaneously lost half its mass (gasp, shudder, the horror!) then its gravitational pull on Earth would lessen as well, ultimately changing the very nature of our orbit around the Sun.

Answer:
1.05 J.
Explanation:
Kinetic Energy: This is the energy possessed by a body due to its motion. The S.I unit of kinetic energy is Joules (J). The formula of kinetic energy is given as
Ek = 1/2mv²................. Equation 1
Where Ek = kinetic energy, m = mass of the uniform rod, v = liner velocity of the rod.
But,
v = αr .......................... Equation 2
Where α = angular velocity of the rod, r = radius of the circle.
Given: α = 3.6 red/s, r = 120/2 = 60 cm = 0.6 m.
Substitute into equation 2
v = 3.6(0.6)
v = 2.16 m/s.
Also given: m = 450 g = 0.45 kg.
Substitute into equation 1
Ek = 1/2(0.45)(2.16²)
Ek = 1.05 J.
Speed= distance/time
Speed= 150000m/7200s=20.83m/s(cor.to.2d.p.)
