Answer: The correct option is A.

Explanation:

The electric potential energy is defined as the work done required in assembling the charges by bringing them close together.

The kinetic energy is due to the motion of the particle.

In the given problem, a proton is moving towards a stationary charged particle. There will an energy change that could occur as the particles get closer.

The moving charge gains electric potential energy and losses its kinetic energy until it stops.

At that point, Kinetic energy will be converted into electric potential energy if the stationary particle is positive.

When the Sun, Earth, and Moon are in this position, the high tides will be lower than normal levels because
Gnesinka [82]
Ok, I’ll try to help, but I’d need to see the picture of the positions of the sun, earth, and moon to help you fully.

So, the first thing to note is that gravity is an attractive force, meaning that; something that has mass, call the m1 will “pull toward” another mass, call it m2. The two objects pull on each other, mutually.

If an object has more mass it pull more, and if an object has less mass, it pulls less.

Another thing to note is that distances matter. The closer the objects are to each other, the more pull they’ll “feel”.

So, the ocean tides are the effect of ocean water responding to a gravitational gradient, the moon plays a larger role in creating tides than the sun does. But the sun's gravitational gradient across the earth is significant and it does contribute to tides as well.

So, when the bulge of the ocean caused by the sun’s gravity, partially cancels out the bulge of the ocean caused by the moon gravity. This produces moderate tides known as the neap tides, meaning that high tides are a little lower and low tides are a little higher than average.

I hope that helps.

How are molecule shapes determined by electrons
il63 [147K]

Answer:

Using the VSEPR theory, the electron bond pairs and lone pairs on the center atom will help us predict the shape of a molecule. The shape of a molecule is determined by the location of the nuclei and its electrons. The electrons and the nuclei settle into positions that minimize repulsion and maximize attraction.Explanation:

icang [17]

Answer:

Explanation:you must first make a free body diagram of the block to place all the forces that act on the block there. You will have four forces. The normal force, the weight, the horizontal force in x (which is what they ask to calculate) and the friction force. Then you raise the equations and you clear the values. I attach the solution.

I need help on EM spectrum and waves​
Nutka1998 [239]
<h2>Answer:It is not affected by the change in media.</h2>

Explanation:

Transverse waves are those waves where the medium particles vibrate perpendicular to the direction of propagation.

Transverse waves do not require any medium.

They travel with same speed in any medium.

Electromagnetic waves are transverse waves where the medium particles vibrate perpendicular to the direction of propagation.

So,their speed is same in any medium.
