Answer:

Their kinetic energy will increase but potential energy will decrease.

Explanation:

Given that

Initial velocities of electron and proton is zero.

We know that ,electron have negative charge and proton have positive charge it means that they will attract to each other.We know that opposite charge attract to each other and same charge repels to each other.

It means that the velocities of proton and electron will increase and that leads to increase in the kinetic energy of proton and electron.

We know that potential energy U

U\alpha -\dfrac{1}{r}

So when r will decrease then U will increase but in negative direction it means that U will decrease.

So we can say that their kinetic energy will increase but potential energy will decrease.

5. Why does a Ntion try to influence the value of its currency?
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

If inflation is relatively lower than competitors, then the countries goods will become more attractive and demand will rise. Lower inflation tends to increase the value of the currency in the long term.

Answer:

Elastic potential energy, E=2.35\times 10^{-8}\ J

Explanation:

Charge, q=9.4\times 10^{-10}\ C

Potential, V = 50 V

It is required to find the electric potential energy in a capacitor stored in it. The formula of the electric potential energy in a capacitor is given by :

E=\dfrac{1}{2}qV\\\\E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.4\times 10^{-10}\times 50\\\\E=2.35\times 10^{-8}\ J

So, the electric potential energy stored in the capacitor is 2.35\times 10^{-8}\ J
