The picture below shows a comet at two different positions in its orbit around some star.
The tables below show four different quantities in relation to the energy of the comet-star system-kinetic energy (KE) gravitational potential energy (GPE), speed of comet (Speed), and mechanical energy of system (ME).
Choose the table that is correctly filled in with x's.
Notice that in some boxes for certain quantities neither box is checked, indicating that the particular quantities is the same at both positions. Assume any loss of mass of the comet or the star is insignificant.

Q5
A hypothetical atom has only two atomic energy levels, separated by 3.2 eV. Suppose that at a certain altitude in the atmosphere of a star there are $$6.1 \times 10^{13} /cm^3$$ of these atoms in the higher-energy state and $$2.5 \times 10^{15} /m^3$$ in the lower-energy state.What is the temperature of the stars atmosphere at that altitude?
