Question
Two insulating spheres have radii 0.300 cm and 0.500 cm, masses 0.400 kg and 0.700 kg, and uniformly distributed charges of -2.00 µC and 4.00 µC. They are released from rest when their centers are separated by 1.00 m. (a) How fast will each be moving when they collide? (Hint: Consider conservation of energy and of linear momentum.) Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. The correct answer is not zero. m/s (lighter sphere) Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. The correct answer is not zero. m/s (heavier sphere)
