How does the photoelectric effect (gold leaf experiment) demonstrate the particle nature of light?

Given the Earth orbits the Sun at a distance of 1.4910^11m with Me = 5.9710^24kg and Msolar = 1.99*10^30, what is the gravitational force between the Earth and Sun?

Two pellets are fired simultaneously from the horizontal, one is fired vertically at 100m/s and the other is fired at 200m/s at an angle theta from the horizontal. Calculate the angle of the second pellet if they both land at the same time.

Describe an experiment, using a pendulum, which can be conducted to investigate g, acceleration due to gravity.
