Hi there!
Informative writing has the intent to inform or educate us on a particular topic or event. It gives us more information and insight onto something.
Persuasive writing has the intent of convincing us to believe in a certain idea or to perform a certain action. For instance, advertisements have a persuasive intent; they are persuading us to buy a product or service.
Argumentative writing is similar to persuasive writing in the sense that they are persuading us to believe a certain idea. However, they are often based on logic and fact rather than opinions.
Let's look at the first excerpt.
<em>This morning at 9 a.m., a school bus collided with a car at the intersection of Osmena and Cabrera streets. The passengers were not injured, but the medical personnel checked each student as well as the driver before they were transported to their school.</em>
This text doesn't try to convince us in believing something. It doesn't argue anything and it only tries to give us more insight onto the event, which is a car accident. No opinions are stated and only events are given.
Therefore, this excerpt uses an informative writing technique.
Answer:
Orbital period, T = 1.00074 years
Explanation:
It is given that,
Orbital radius of a solar system planet, 
The orbital period of the planet can be calculated using third law of Kepler's. It is as follows :

M is the mass of the sun

T = 31559467.6761 s
T = 1.00074 years
So, a solar-system planet that has an orbital radius of 4 AU would have an orbital period of about 1.00074 years.
Complete question is;
Does the galvanometer deflect to the left or the right when
a) the magnet is being pushed in
b) the magnet is being pulled out
c) the magnet is being held steady?
Answer:
Option A - when the magnet is being pulled out
Explanation:
Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction states that: “Voltage is induced in a circuit whenever relative motion exists between the conductor and the magnetic field, and the magnitude of the voltage will be proportional to the rate of change of the flux”.
Now, applying it to the question, When the magnet is moved towards the sensitive center of the galvanometer and then pulled out, the needle of the galvanometer will deflect away from its center position in one direction only but when it is held steady, the needle of the galvanometer will return back to zero.
