Explanation / Answer

(A) PE = - G M M / r^2

PE = - (6.67 x 10^-11)(2)(2) / (0.25^2)

PE = - 4.27 x 10^-9 J

(B) PEf =- (6.67 x 10^-11)(2)(2) / (0.054 + 0.054)^2

PEf = - 2.287 x 10^-8 J

Applying energy conservation,

PEi + KEi = PEf + KEf

(-4.27 x 10^-9) + (0) = (-2.287 x 10^-8) + 2(2 v^2 / 2)

v = 9.64 x 10^5 m/s .....Ans
