How many more protons does sodium have than oxygen?

How does the electric potential energy between two charged particles change if one particle is reduced by a factor of 3? a. increased by a factor of 3 b. it is decreased by a factor of 9 c. it is reduced by a factor of 3 d. it is increased by a factor of 9

Based on this activity, is kinetic energy always transformed into potential energy?

What belongs in the areas marked x and y? x: the internal energy of a piston system increases as heat is added and rises to a cool area y: as thermal energy is added to a container, some of the energy is lost to the environment x: as thermal energy is added to a container, some of the energy is lost to the environment y: the internal energy of a piston system increases as heat is added and rises to a cool area x: a cold spoon placed in hot liquid gets warmer y: thermal energy is converted to light energy x: thermal energy is converted to light energy y: a cold spoon placed in hot liquid gets warmer
