An electron and a proton are held on an x axis, with the electron at x = + 1.000 m and the proton at x = - 1.000 m.how much work

It is required an infinite work. The additional electron will never reach the origin.

In fact, assuming the additional electron is coming from the positive direction, as it approaches x=+1.00 m it will become closer and closer to the electron located at x=+1.00 m. However, the electrostatic force between the two electrons (which is repulsive) will become infinite when the second electron reaches x=+1.00 m, because the distance d between the two electrons is zero:
F=k_e  \frac{q_e q_e}{d^2}
So, in order for the additional electron to cross this point, it is required an infinite amount of work, which is impossible.

Ice-skater slides toward a sled sitting on the ice and hits it. The skater exerts a 12.6 N force on the sled at an angle of 15.3
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

Expression of work done is

W = Fd cos\theta

Work done to move the sled is given as 187.2 J

Explanation:

As we know that the formula of work done is given as

W = Fd cos\theta

here we know that

F = 12.6 N

d = 15.4 m

\theta = 15.3 degree

so we will have

W = 12.6 \times 15.4 cos15.3

W = 187.2 J

A 600 kg car is at test and then accelerated to 5m/s , what is its original kinetic energy
ycow [4]

Answer:

0 J

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is defined as:

KE = 1/2 m v²

where m is mass and v is velocity.

The car starts at rest, so it has zero velocity.  Therefore, its initial kinetic energy is 0 J.
