A charge of -4.39 10^(-6) C is fixed in place. From a horizontal distance of 0.0132 m, a particle of mass 9.78 x 10^(-3) kg and charge -8.74 10^(-6) C is fired with an initial speed of 90.4 m/s directly toward the fixed charge. How far does the particle travel before its speed is zero?
This problem is most easily solved using conservation of energy. The potential energy of a system of two charges is:
W = q_1 q_2/(4 pi epsilon_0 r)
Here q_1 and q_2 are the charges and r is the relative distance between the two charges. From ...
