Answer:
3. 3.5 s
Explanation:
The position of traveller A is given by the equation:
where
is the acceleration of A
t is the time measured from when A started the motion
The position of traveller B instead is given by
where a (acceleration) is the same as traveller A, and
is B's initial velocity. We can verify that the formula is correct by substituting t=2, and we get , which means that B starts its motion 2 seconds later.
Traveller B overtakes traveller A when the two positions are the same, so:
The electric force acting on the charge is given by the charge multiplied by the electric field intensity:
where in our problem
and 
, so the force is
The initial kinetic energy of the particle is zero (because it is at rest), so its final kinetic energy corresponds to the work done by the electric force for a distance of x=4 m:
