What energy transformations when climbing a hill?

Aproton is projected toward a fixed nucleus of charge +ze with velocity vo. initially the two particles are very far apart. when the proton is a distance r from the nucleus its velocity has decreased to 1/2vo. how far from the nucleus will the proton be when its velocity has dropped to 1/4vo?

When applying kirchhoff's rules, one of the essential steps is to mark each resistor with plus and minus signs to label how the electric potential changes from one end of the resistor to the other. the circuit in the drawing contains four resistors, each marked with the associated plus and minus signs. however, one resistor is marked incorrectly. which one is it?

While goofing off at the ice skating rink, a student takes off her shoes and places each of them on the ice. her friend, a hockey player, then shoots a hockey puck at each shoe. the first puck immediately comes to rest after it collides with the left shoe. the second puck rebounds after it collides with the right shoe. if each hockey puck has the same incoming speed, which shoe has greater speed after the collision? the right shoe. both shoes have the same speed. the left shoe.
