## Question 2: Electric Potential from Point Charges

### Problem Statement:

(a) Three charges lie on the \( y \)-axis of a coordinate system at points \((0.00 \, \text{cm}, 0.00 \, \text{cm})\), \((0.00 \, \text{cm}, -3.00 \, \text{cm})\), and \((0.00 \, \text{cm}, 3.00 \, \text{cm})\). Each charge has a value of \(-1.58 \, \mu \text{C}\). Find the electric potential at points \( p_i = (-5.00 \, \text{cm}, 0.00 \, \text{cm}) \) and \( p_f = (2.00 \, \text{cm}, 0.00 \, \text{cm}) \).

(b) If a particle of mass \( 61.7 \, \text{g} \) and charge \( q = 4.22 \, \mu \text{C} \) were to start at rest at point \( p_i \) and move to point \( p_f \), what would its final speed be?

\( k = 8.99 \times 10^9 \, \frac{\text{Nm}^2}{\text{C}^2} \)

### Diagram Explanation:

The diagram contains a coordinate system with three charges labeled \( q_1 \), \( q_2 \), and \( q_3 \) placed along the y-axis. 

- \( q_1 \) is at the origin \((0, 0)\).
- \( q_2 \) is below \( q_1 \) on the y-axis at \((0, -3)\).
- \( q_3 \) is above \( q_1 \) on the y-axis at \((0, 3)\).

Points \( p_i \) and \( p_f \) are marked on the x-axis. \( p_i \) is left of the origin at \((-5, 0)\) and \( p_f \) is right of the origin at \((2, 0)\).
