An electron is released form rest in a region of space where a uniform electric field is present. Joanna claims that its kinetic and potential energies both increase as it moves from its initial position to its final position. Sonya claims that they both decrease. Which one, if either, is correct?

a. Joanna, because the electron moves opposite to the direction of the field. b. Sonya, because the electron moves opposite to the direction of the field. c. Joanna, because the electron moves in the direction of the field. d. Sonya, because the electron moves in the direction of the field. e. Neither, because the kinetic energy increases while the electron moves to a point at a higher potential.

Why can't current theories describe what happened during the Planck era?

A) We do not yet have a theory that links quantum mechanics and general relativity. B) We do not know how hot or dense the universe was during that time. C) We do not understand the properties of antimatter. D) The Planck era was the time before the Big Bang, and we cannot describe what happened before that instant.
