Complete Question
A small metal sphere, carrying a net charge q1=−2μC, is held in a stationary position by insulating supports. A second small metal sphere, with a net charge of q2= -8μC and mass 1.50g, is projected toward q1. When the two spheres are 0.80m apart, q2 is moving toward q1 with speed 20ms−1. Assume that the two spheres can be treated as point charges. You can ignore the force of gravity.The speed of q2 when the spheres are 0.400m apart is.
Answer:
The value 
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The charge on the first sphere is 
The charge on the second sphere is 
The mass of the second charge is 
The distance apart is 
The speed of the second sphere is 
Generally the total energy possessed by when

The representation of this problem is shown in Figure 1. So our goal is to find the vector

. From the figure we know that:

From geometry, we know that:

Then using
vector decomposition into components:

Therefore:

So if you want to find out <span>
how far are you from your starting point you need to know the magnitude of the vector

, that is:
</span>

Finally, let's find the <span>
compass direction of a line connecting your starting point to your final position. What we are looking for here is an angle that is shown in Figure 2 which is an angle defined with respect to the positive x-axis. Therefore:
</span>
Answer:
1. 2.5s
Explanation:
1. For time, divide Distance / speed
25m / 10
=2.5s
