Answer:
This is a conceptual problem so I will try my best to explain the impossible scenario. First of all the two dust particles ara virtually exempt from any external forces and at rest with respect to each other. This could theoretically happen even if it's difficult for that to happen. The problem is that each of the particles have an electric charge which are equal in magnitude and sign. Thus each particle should feel the presence of the other via a force. The forces felt by the particles are equal and opposite facing away from each other so both charges have a net acceleration according to Newton's second law because of the presence of a force in each particle:

Having seen Newton's second law it should be clear that the particles are actually moving away from each other and will not remain at rest with respect to each other. This is in contradiction with the last statement in the problem.
Answer:

Explanation:
If the collision is elastic and exactly head-on, then we can use the law of momentum conservation for the motion of the 2 balls
Before the collision

After the collision

So using the law of momentum conservation


We can solve for the speed of ball 1 post collision in terms of others:

Their kinetic energy is also conserved before and after collision


From here we can plug in 






Answer:
3.0 x10^-3 J
Explanation:
The potential energy of a spring is given by PE = (0.5)k*x^2
Where
K: Spring Constant = 60 N/m
x: displacement of the spring from its equilibrium position = 1cm = 0.01m
Then PE = 0.5(60)(.01)^2 = 0.003J = 3.0 x10^-3 J
