Two protons are released from rest, with only the electrostatic force acting. Which of the following statements must be true about them as they move apart? (There could be more than one correct choice.)a. Their electrical potential energy keeps decreasing.b. Their acceleration keeps decreasing.c. Their kinetic energy keeps increasing.d. Their kinetic energy keeps decreasing.e. Their electric potential energy keeps increasing.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Explanation:

correct options

a ) Their electrical potential energy keeps decreasing

Actually as they move apart , their electrical potential energy decreases due to increase of distance between them and kinetic energy increases

so a ) option is correct

b ) Their acceleration keeps decreasing

As they move apart , their mutual force of repulsion decreases due to increase of distance between them so the acceleration decreases .

c ) c. Their kinetic energy keeps increasing

Their kinetic energy increases because their electrical potential energy decreases . Conservation of energy law will apply .

The moving apart should be true statements:

a. The electrical potential energy should be reduced.

b. The acceleration should be reduced.

c. The kinetic energy should be increased.

True statements related to moving apart:

At the time when the moving part, there is the reduction of the electric potential energy because there is a rise in the distance due to which the increment of the kinetic energy.  The reduction of the mutual force of repulsion because of increment in the distance due to this the acceleration should be reduced. There is the increase in the kinetic energy due to the reduction of the electrical potential energy. here the law of conversation of energy should be applied.
