Answer:

A. Kinetic energy is converted to electric potential energy, and the proton moves more slowly.

Explanation:

When a moving proton is brought close to a stationary one, the kinetic energy of the moving one is converted to electric potential and the proton moves more slowly.

Kinetic energy is the energy due to the motion of a body. A moving proton will possess this form of energy.

Two protons according to coulombs law will repel each other with an electrostatic force because they both have similar charges. This will increase their electric potential energy of both of them.

Potential energy is the energy at rest of a body. As it increases, the motion of a body will be slower and it will tend towards being stationary.

an object of mass m is rotating about a fixed axis with angular momentum l. its moment of inertia about this axis is i. what is

Tems11 [23]

The Kinetic energy would be 1/2IL².

<h3>What is Rotational Kinetic energy ?</h3>

Rotational energy also known as angular kinetic energy is defined as: The kinetic energy due to the rotation of an object and is part of its total kinetic energy. Rotational kinetic energy is directly proportional to the rotational inertia and the square of the magnitude of the angular velocity.

As we know linear Kinetic energy = 1/2mv²

where m= mass and v= velocity.

Similarly rotational kinetic energy is given by = 1/2IL²

where I- moment of inertia and L=angular momentum.

A real gas will behave most like an ideal gas under conditions of ________.

KengaRu [80]

Answer: high temperature and low pressure

Explanation:

The Ideal Gas equation is:

$P.V=n.R.T$

Where:

$P$ is the pressure of the gas

$V$ is the volume of the gas

$n$ the number of moles of gas

$R=0.0821\frac{L.atm}{mol.K}$ is the gas constant

$T$ is the absolute temperature of the gas in Kelvin

According to this law, molecules in gaseous state do not exert any force among them (attraction or repulsion) and the volume of these molecules is small, therefore negligible in comparison with the volume of the container that contains them.

Now, real gases can behave approximately to an ideal gas, under the conditions described above and taking into account the following:

When <u>temperature is high</u> a real gas approximates to ideal gas, because the molecules move quickly, preventing the repulsion or attraction forces to take effect. In addition, at <u>low pressures</u>, the volume of molecules is negligible.
