A proton and an electron are released from an infinite distance apart and they get attracted towards each other. Which of the following statement about their kinetic energy is true?

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

Proton and electron move under the influence of their mutual electrostatic attraction. Therefore momentum is conserved i.e. constant, henceK=p22m. As electron has less mass, it possesses greater kinetic energy.
