Question

Two particles, each having a mass of 3.0 mg and having equal but opposite charges of magnitude of 6.0 nC, are released simultaneously from rest when they are a very large distance apart. What distance separates the two at the instant when each has a speed of 5.0 m/s?

The answer is 4.32 nm but can you please explain in detail, why?

Explanation / Answer

apply KE = change in PE

0.5 mv^2 + 0.5 mv^2 = Kq1q2/r

since both masses are same and V is same

we get mv^2 = kq1q2/r

r = Kq1q2/mv^2

r = (9e9 * 6 e-9 * 6e -9 )/(3 e-6 * 5*5)

r = 4.32 mm----------<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Answer

Note: Do check ur answer in terms of nm
