A positive charge of 4.20 μC is fixed in place. From a distance of 4.20 cm a particle of mass 6.20 g and charge +3.00 μC is fired with an initial speed of 62.0 m/s directly toward the fixed charge.

A light, unstressed spring has length d. Two identical particles, each with charge q, are connected to the opposite ends of the spring. The particles are held stationary a distance d apart and then released at the same moment. The system then oscillates on a frictionless, horizontal table. The spring has a bit of internal kinetic friction, so the oscillation is damped. The particles eventually stop vibrating when the distance between them is 3d. Assume the system of the spring and two charged particles is isolated. Find the increase in internal energy that appears in the spring during the oscillations.
