Estimate how long the sun would last if it were merely a huge fire that was releasing chemical energy. Assume that the sun begins with roughly 108 joules per kilogram

≅ 17000 years or 1.7 x 10⁴ years

Explanation:

time= total energy/power

=  (10⁸J/kg)(2x10³⁰ kg) / 3.8 x 10²⁶ J/s

 = 526,315,789,473 s

=  16689 years

≅ 17000 years or 1.7 x 10⁴ years

answer would be letter choice (a),   a ball resting on a shelf. would be another example of potential energy   >   stored energy > not moving.

a ball spinning on a finger   >   kinetic energy > moving energy

a ball rolling on the ground   >   kinetic energy   > moving energy

a   ball flying through the air   > kinetic energy   >   moving energy
