Follow-up Question

This is the feedback I received about the first part as it was wrong. I still don't understand what to do for the first part.

Your speed is too low. You may have calculated the speed of each red blood cell by assuming that they both started with identical speeds. Although it is possible for the cells to start with the same speed, it is not necessary, and the equal speed assumption does not produce the minimum relative speed for unequal charges.

Relative speed is the speed of one cell measured from the perspective of the other cell. Treat the cells as if one cell starts at the relative speed ?� and the other starts from rest.
