What is the energy of a 15kg book sitting on top of a 2.5m bookshelf

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?

A6,600 kg train car moving at +2.0 m/s bumps into and locks together with one of mass 5,400kg moving at -3.0m/s. what is their final velocity? +0.50 m/s -1.0 m/s +2.5 m/s -0.25 m/s

When the force acting on an object points at least partially in the direction of the motion the work done is considered to be negative
