Celestial bodies in the universe like the stars, gain their energy by nuclear fusion. This is a nuclear reaction that emits radiation by joining subatomic particles together to yield another new element. This cause by instability of certain elements due to their high neutron-to-proton ratio. The most stable element there is, is Fe-26. Elements lighter than Fe-26 are most likely to undergo nuclear fusion (combining), while elements heavier than Fe-26 are most likely to undergo nuclear fission (breaking). 

So that is how the Sun gains its energy. It is very abundant in hydrogen, such that hydrogen undergoes nuclear fusion. Two protons from two hydrogen atoms combine at very very high temperatures to form a Helium atom. Therefore, a high-mass star life is very abundant in Hydrogen, while a low-mass star life is very abundant in Helium.

A 0.l ‑kilogram block is attached to an initially unstretched spring of force constant k = 40 N/m as shown right. The block is d
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

The maximum potential energy of the system is 0.2 J

Explanation:

Hi there!

When the spring is stretched, it acquires potential energy. When released, the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. If there is no friction nor any dissipative forces, all the potential energy will be converted into kinetic energy according to the energy conservation theorem.

The equation of elastic potential energy (EPE) is the following:

EPE = 1/2 · k · x²

Where:

k = spring constant.

x = stretching distance.

The elastic potential energy is maximum when the block has no kinetic energy, just before releasing it.

Then:

EPE = 1/2 · 40 N/m · (0.1 m)²

EPE = 0.2 J

The maximum potential energy of the system is 0.2 J
