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.

What is the difference between elastic PE and gravitational PE?
asambeis [7]
Elastic potential energy is kind of like pulling on something and then letting it go, with rubber bands, or a bow, or a slingshot, something with elastic properties.
Gravitational potential energy has to do with how high something is, and has to do with earth’s gravitational pull.

Suppose a 48-N sled is resting on packed snow. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.10. If a person weighing 660 N sits on t
Annette [7]

Assume the snow is uniform, and horizontal.

Given:

coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.10 = muK

weight of sled = 48 N

weight of rider = 660 N

normal force on of sled with rider = 48+660 N = 708 N = N

Force required to maintain a uniform speed

= coefficient of kinetic friction * normal force

= muK * N

= 0.10 * 708 N

=70.8 N


Note: it takes more than 70.8 N to start the sled in motion, because static friction is in general greater than kinetic friction.

what is the source of centripetal force that planet requires revolving around the sun on what basis the factor does that was the
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

The source of centripetal force is the gravitational force between the planet and Sun. Gravitational force depends on the mass of the planet, mass of the Sun and distance between them.

Determine the quantity of work done when a crane lifts a 100-N block from 2m above the ground to 6m above the ground
Sedaia [141]
You can use the formula:
Work = Force × Distance
W = 100 * (6 - 2)
W = 100 * 4
W = 400 J

hope this helps :)
