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.

How much is the velocity of a body when it travels 600m in 5 minutes?​
maks197457 [2]

answer

so unit of velocity is m/s

displacement=600m

5minutes should be converted to seconds

5×60=300 seconds

so,

velocity= displacement÷time

= 600m ÷300s

=2m/s or 2ms^-1

What is the calculation for elastic potential?
grin007 [14]
Elastic potential energy is equal to the force times the distance of movement. Elastic potential energy = force x distance of displacement. Because the force is = spring constant x displacement, then the Elastic potential energy = spring constant x displacement squared.
