If the third charge (–| q 3 |) is placed at point P, but not held fixed, it will experience a force and accelerate away from the

other two charges. If q3 = q = –1.0 nC, the mass of the third charge m3 is 5.0 x 10-12 kg, and s = 4.0 cm, what will the speed of charged particle #3 [in m/s] be after it has moved a very large distance away?

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

A

The potential of this system is  U=6.75*10^{-7}J

B

The electric potential at point p is V_p= -900V

C

The work required is  W= 9*10^{-7}J

D

The speed of the charge is  v=600m/s

Explanation:

A sketch to explain the question is shown on the second uploaded image

Generally the potential energy for a system of two charges is mathematically represented as

            U = \frac{kq_1 q_2}{d}

where k is the electrostatic constant with a value of  k = 9*10^9 N m^2 /C^2

           q is the charge with a value of  q = 1*10^{-9}C

           d is the distance given as   d =5m

Now we are given that  q_1 = q and  q_2 = 3q and

Now substituting values

             U = \frac{9*10^9 *1*10^{-9} * 3*10^{-9}}{5}

                U=6.75*10^{-7}J

The electric potential at point P is mathematically obtained with the formula

             V_p = V_{-q} + V_{-3q}

I.e the potential at q_1 plus the potential at  q_2

Now potential at q_1 is mathematically represented as

                   V_{-q} = \frac{-kq}{s}

and the potential at q_2 is mathematically represented as

                        V_{-3q} = \frac{-3kq}{s}

Now substituting into formula for potential at  P

                  V_p = \frac{-kq}{s} + \frac{-3kq}{s}  = -\frac{4kq}{s}

                       = \frac{4*9*10^9 *1*10^{-9}}{4*10^{-2}}

                      V_p= -900V

The Workdone to bring the third negative charge is mathematically evaluated as

                W =\Delta U = \frac{kq_1q_3}{s} + \frac{kq_2q_3}{s}

                                 = \frac{kq*q}{s} +   \frac{kq*3q}{s}

                                = \frac{4kq^2}{s}

                               = \frac{4* 9*10^9 * (1*10^{-9})^2}{4*10^{-2}}

                              W= 9*10^{-7}J

From the Question are told that the charge q_3 would a force and an acceleration which implies that all its potential energy would be converted to kinetic energy.This can be mathematically  represented as

                   \Delta U = W = \frac{1}{2} m_{q_3} v^2

                         9*10^{-7} = \frac{1}{2} m_{q_3} v^2

Where m_{q_3} = 5.0*10^{-12}kg

Now making v the subject we have

                 v = \sqrt{\frac{9*10^{-12}}{5*10^{-12}*0.5} }

                     v=600m/s
