is there supposed to be a picture
As we know that collision is elastic so we will have


also we can use momentum conservation



now from above two equations we will have


also we have

so both balls will separate after collision and move in opposite direction as the final velocities are opposite in sign
So correct answer will be
<em>D. The balls separate and move in opposite directions.</em>
Answer:
The objects were 1.8m apart.
Explanation:
We will start stating the Coulomb's Law. It says that:

Where F_e is the electric force between the objects, q_1 and q_2 are the magnitude of the charge of the objects, r is the distance between them and K is the Coulomb's constant (
in vacuum). Solving for the distance r we have:

Plugging the given values into this equation, we obtain:

In words, the two charged objects were 1.8m apart.
relation between potential difference and electric field is given as

so here we know that
d = 3 cm



So now when plates are separated to 4 cm distance carefully
the potential difference between them will change but the electric field between them will remain constant
So at distance of 4 cm also the electric field will be E = 1000 N/C
