Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body while in motion. It is calculated by 1/2mv², where m is the mass of the body and v is the velocity.
Therefore, kinetic energy is dependent on both mass of the body and the velocity. An increase in mass increases the kinetic energy, an increase in velocity also increases kinetic energy of the body. Thus, doubling the mass and doubling the velocity will both increase the kinetic energy of the body.
The sun produces energy by converting gravitational potential energy into radiation via quantum processes in the nucleus of the atoms.
Since the mass of the sun and it's temperature are not quite enough to generate nuclear FUSION on their own, quantum tunneling is the primary process by which nuclear fusion occurs in our sun, SOL. FISSION also occurs as a result of this fusion.
Additionally, gravitational potential energy is also the reason that supernovae are so bright. Cool!
The most common liquid on planet earth is water
Protons are positive,
electrons are negative,
and neutrons are neutral.
In the nucleus, there are protons and neutrons, so the charge of a nucleus is positive.
