By compressing the spring a distance <em>x</em> (in m), you are storing 1/2 <em>k</em> <em>x</em> ² (in J) of potential energy, which is converted completely into kinetic energy 1/2 <em>m v</em> ², where
• <em>k</em> = 40 N/m = spring constant
• <em>m</em> = 10 kg = mass of the ball
• <em>v</em> = 2 m/s = ball's speed (at the moment the spring returns to its equilibrium point)
So we have
1/2 <em>k</em> <em>x</em> ² = 1/2 <em>m</em> <em>v</em> ²
<em>x</em> = √(<em>m</em>/<em>k</em> <em>v</em> ²) = √((10 kg) / (40 N/m) (2 m/s)²) = 1 m
The gravitational attraction between two planets is 4905.95 N
<h3>What is gravitational attraction?</h3>
When two objects with masses are placed at a distance, there will an attractive force acting between them.
According to the Newton's law of gravitation, gravitational force is
F = Gm₁m₂ /r²
where r is the distance between the masses m₁ and m₂ and G is the gravitational constant G = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N-m²/kg²
Substitute the values into the expression, we get
F = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ x 2.25 x 10²⁰ x 6.20 x 10¹⁸ / (435,500 x 1000)²
F= 4905.95 N
Thus, the gravitational attraction between two planets is 4905.95 N.

I’m pretty sure c I had this awhile ago but not sure
Answer:
Roughly three quarters of the Sun's mass consists of hydrogen (~73%); the rest is mostly helium (~25%), with much smaller quantities of heavier elements, including oxygen, carbon, neon, and iron. The Sun is a G-type main-sequence star (G2V) based on its spectral class.
