g a small smetal sphere, carrying a net charge is held stationarry. what is the speed are 0.4 m apart

The speed of q₂ is

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance = 0.4 m apart

Suppose, A small metal sphere, carrying a net charge q₁ = −2μC, is held in a stationary position by insulating supports. A second small metal sphere, with a net charge of q₂ = −8μC and mass 1.50g, is projected toward q₁. When the two spheres are 0.800m apart, q₂ is moving toward q₁ with speed 20m/s.

We need to calculate the speed of q₂

Using conservation of energy

Put the value into the formula

Hence, The speed of q₂ is
