I believe the answer is b) slowly heating the surface
Answer: a) 127 eV; b) there is no change of kinetic energy.
Explanation: In order to explain this problem we have to use the change of potentail energy ( conservative field) is equal to changes in kinetic energy. So for the proton ther move to lower potential then they gain kinetic energy from the electric field. This means the electric force do work in this trayectory and then the protons increased changes its speed.
If we replace the proton by a electron we have a very different situaction, the electrons are located in a lower potental then they can not move to higher potential if any external force does work on the system.
In resumem, the electrons do not move from a point with V=87 to other point with V=-40 V. The electric force point to high potential so the electrons can not move to lower potential region (V=-40V).
Answer:L=109.16 m
Explanation:
Given
initial temperature 
Final Temperature 
mass flow rate of cold fluid 
Initial Geothermal water temperature 
Let final Temperature be T
mass flow rate of geothermal water 
diameter of inner wall 

specific heat of water 
balancing energy
Heat lost by hot fluid=heat gained by cold Fluid




As heat exchanger is counter flow therefore





heat lost or gain by Fluid is equal to heat transfer in the heat exchanger
(LMTD)




Depending on the height of the building they can break due to impact on the floor.
