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.

arsen [322]
No. She would be doing the same amount of work that way. Work is defined to be equal to the force multiplied by the distance. Carrying two bags at a time would cause her to exert twice the effort, so the total amount of work done in the end would still be the same.

Regardless of their frequency, wavelength, or energy, all electromagnetic waves: A. travel only through the vacuum of space. B.
agasfer [191]
All electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed in a vacuum: 3.0 x 10^5 (300,000) kilometres per second. some electromagnetic waves are part of the visible light spectrum and some do emit harmful radiation, but certainly not all. they travel fine on earth without the vacuum of space too.
