3. [Maximum mark: 1] The diagram shows 5 gravitational equipotential lines. The gravitational potential on each line is indicated. A point mass \( m \) is placed on the middle line and is then released. Values given in \( \mathrm{MJ} \mathrm{kg}^{-1} \). Which is correct about the direction of motion and the acceleration of the point mass? A. \begin{tabular}{|c|c|} \hline Direction & Acceleration \\ \hline to the right & decreasing \\ \hline to the right & increasing \\ \hline to the left & decreasing \\ \hline to the left & increasing \\ \hline \end{tabular}

The diagrams below show regions of space that contain electric fields. The dotted lines represent crosssections of electric equipotential surfaces or sheets. The distance from the leftmost equipotential to the rightmost one is 20 cm in each case. An electron is placed at point S with an initial velocity of 100 m/s to the right. Rank the change in kinetic energy of the electron as it travels between points S and T in each case, from greatest to least.
