-32.5 * 10^-5 J

Explanation:

The potential energy of this system of charges is;

Ue = kq1q2/r

Where;

k is the Coulumb's constant

q1 and q2 are the magnitudes of the charges

r is the distance of separation between the charges

Substituting values;

Ue = 9.0×10^9 N⋅m2/C2 * 5.5 x 10^-8 C *( -2.3 x10^-8) C/(3.5 * 10^-2)

Ue= -32.5 * 10^-5 J

increasing transnational kinetic energy. because the transnational kinetic energy formula consists of only two variables, mass and velocity, increasing one of those properties is the only way to increase an object's transnational kinetic energy. increases to mass and velocity, however, do not have the same impact.
