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.

1. Should water be classified as renewable or nonrenewable? Explain your reasoning.
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

Renewable Resource Hydropower is renewed by the Earth's hydrologic cycle. Water has also been considered renewable, but overpumping of groundwater is depleting aquifers, and pollution threatens the use of many water resources, showing that the consequences of resource use are not always simple depletion.For low-mass stars (left hand side), after the helium has fused into carbon, the core collapses again. As the core collapses, the outer layers of the star are expelled. A planetary nebula is formed by the outer layers. The core remains as a white dwarf and eventually cools to become a black dwarf. inexpensive compared to coal ... o Two types of coal—low rank (pollutes more), and high rank.

Which of the following describes the treatment in an investigation?
insens350 [35]

Answer:

Live training (whether through videoconference or a live course on a learning management system) or an eLearning course with knowledge checks is suggested so that learners can receive immediate feedback. Inclusion of a post-test – as well as an electronic guide describing jurisdiction-specific protocols – is strongly recommended.
