The correct answer is:
$2 \mathrm{E}=\mathrm{U}$
$\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{F}=\frac{\mathrm{k}(\mathrm{Ze})(\mathrm{e})}{\mathrm{r}^2}=\frac{\mathrm{mv}^2}{\mathrm{r}} \\ & \mathrm{KE}=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{mv}^2=\frac{1}{2} \frac{\mathrm{K}(\mathrm{Ze})(\mathrm{e})}{\mathrm{r}} \\ & \mathrm{PE}=-\frac{\mathrm{K}(\mathrm{Ze})(\mathrm{e})}{\mathrm{r}} \\ & \mathrm{TE}=\frac{\mathrm{K}(\mathrm{Ze})(\mathrm{e})}{2 \mathrm{r}}-\frac{\mathrm{K}(\mathrm{Ze})(\mathrm{e})}{\mathrm{r}}=\frac{-\mathrm{K}(\mathrm{Ze})(\mathrm{e})}{2 \mathrm{r}} \\ & \mathrm{TE}=\frac{\mathrm{PE}}{2} \\ & 2 \mathrm{TE}=\mathrm{PE}\end{aligned}$
