The metal ball lost energy while the putty ball gained energy.

<h3>What is momentum?</h3>

Momentum is the product of mass and velocity of the body. We must note that momentum before collision is equal to momentum after collision.

1) Kinetic energy before collision = 1/2mv^2 = 0.5 * 6 * 4 = 12 J

2) kinetic energy after collision = 0.5 * 6 * 2= 6 J

3) Kinetic energy of putty ball = 0.5 * 6 * 2= 6 J

4) Energy lost by the metal ball = 12 J - 6 J = 6 J

5) Energy gained by the putty ball = 6 J - 0J = 6 J

6) The rest of the energy was converted to heat after the collision.

Answer:

(a) 0.17 m

(b) 5.003 m

(d) 7.37 × $10^{-29}$ N

Explanation:

(a) The minimum value of $x$ will occur when q3 = 0 m or at origin and q1, q2 are at 0.17 m so the distance between q3 and q1, q2 is 0.17 m, therefore the <em>minimum value of x= 0.17 m</em>.

(b) The maximum value of x will occur when q3 = 5 m because it is said in the question that 5 is the maximum distance travelled by q3. To find the hypotenuse i.e. the distance between q3 and q1,q2, we use Pythagoras theorem.

$h^{2} = b^{2} + p^{2}$

$h^{2} = 5^{2} + 0.17^{2} \\h = \sqrt{} 25.03\\h= 5.002 m$

<em>Hence, the maximum distance is 5.002 m</em>

Minimum Distance = 0.17 m

For electrostatic force= $F=\frac{kq1q2}{x^{2} }$

$F=\frac{9 x 10^{9} x3.2x10^{-19}x 6.4x10^{-19} }{0.17^{2} }$

$F= 6.38$ × $10^{-26} N$

(d) For maximum magnitude, we use the maximum distance calculated in (b)

Maximum Distance = 5.002 m

Using the formula for electrostatic force again:

F = $\frac{9x10^{9}x3.2x10^{-19}x6.4x10^{-19} }{5.002^{2} } }$

F= 7.37× $10^{-29$ N
