Explanation:
First, we will calculate the electric potential energy of two charges at a distance R as follows.
R = 2r
=
= 0.2 m
where, R = separation between center's of both Q's. Hence, the potential energy will be calculated as follows.
U =
=
= 0.081 J
As, both the charges are coming towards each other with the same energy so there will occur equal sharing of electric potential energy between these two charges.
Therefore, when these charges touch each other then they used to posses maximum kinetic energy, that is, .
Hence, K.E =
=
= 0.0405 J
Now, we will calculate the speed of balls as follows.
V =
=
= 0.142 m/s
Therefore, we can conclude that final speed of one of the balls is 0.142 m/s.
