Answer:
toward the center
Explanation:
Before answering, let's remind the first two Newton Laws:
1) An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object moving at constant velocity tends to continue its motion at constant velocity, unless acted upon a net force
2) An object acted upon a net force F experiences an acceleration a according to the equation
where m is the mass of the object.
In this problem, we have an object travelling at constant speed in a circular path. The fact that the trajectory of the object is circular means that the direction of motion of the object is constantly changing: this means that its velocity is changing, so it has an acceleration. And therefore, a net force is acting on it. The force that keeps the object travelling in the circular path is called centripetal force, and it is directed towards the center of the circle (because it prevents the object from continuing its motion straight away).
So, the correct answer is
toward the center
The given question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.
In a nuclear physics experiment, a proton (mass 
kg, charge +e = 
C) is fired directly at a target nucleus of unknown charge. (You can treat both objects as point charges, and assume that the nucleus remains at rest.) When it is far from its target, the proton has speed 
m/s. The proton comes momentarily to rest at a distance 
m from the center of the target nucleus, then flies back in the direction from which it came. What is the electric potential energy of the proton and nucleus when they are 
m apart?
Explanation:
The given data is as follows.
Mass of proton = 
kg
Charge of proton = 
Speed of proton = 
Distance traveled = 
We will calculate the electric potential energy of the proton and the nucleus by conservation of energy as follows.
= 
where, 
U = 
Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.
U =
= 
= 
Therefore, we can conclude that the electric potential energy of the proton and nucleus is .
Answer:
Tundra Biome
Explanation:
Permafrost is a type of soil that is frozen all year round. It consists of rocks, soils and ice. The ice or frost holds the earth materials together.
The tundra biome lies below the arctic circle close to the north pole. Most of the earth here is predominantly frozen all year round. A layer of glacier covers the surface and a deep lying layer of permafrost follows suit.
Some mountain tops capped with ice shows this tundra features.
Most tundras are termed cold deserts as they have little to no precipitation all year round. There is absence of vegetation cover as a result of low growing season of the plants.
The mass of the astronaut is still 65 kilograms. Mass is constant or doesn't change no matter where you are.
