Question

A point charge q1 = +5.00 micro Coulomb is held fixed in space. From a horizontal distance of 6.00 cm, a small sphere with mass 4.00 x 10-3 kg and charge q2 = +2.00 micro Coulomb is fired toward the fixed charge with an initial speed of 40.0 m/s. Gravity can be neglected. What is the acceleration (in m/s2) of the sphere at the instant when its speed is 25.0 m/s?
