In a nuclear fission reaction, a heavy nucleus splits into two lighter nuclei, whose subsequent motion is governed by electric force only. As the two nuclei start moving appart from one another, a) their kinetic energy keeps decreasing b) their acceleration keeps increasing c) their kinetic energy keeps increasing d) their electric potential energy keeps decreasing e) their electric potential energy keeps increasing
