What type of energy can take up space

Two identical small charged spheres are a certain distance apart, and each one initially experiences an electrostatic force of magnitude f due to the other. with time, charge gradually leaks off of both spheres. when each of the spheres has lost half its initial charge, the magnitude of the electrostatic force will be

Aspecimen of oil having an initial volume of 580cm^3 is subjected to a pressure increase of 4.0 mpa, and the volume is found to decrease by 0.40 cm^3. (a) what is the bulk modulus of the material? (b) what is the compressibility of the material?

Light from the sun reaches the earth in 8.3 minutes. the velocity is 3.00 x 10^8 m/s. how far is earth from the sun? i know how to get to d = (3 x 10^8 m/s)(498 sec). i just don't know how to get from there to the answer being 1.5 x 10^11 m.
