wo particles are in a uniform electric field that points in the +x direction and has a magnitude of 2550 N/C. The mass and charge of particle 1 are  m1 = 1.46  10-5 kg  and  q1 = −7.1 ?C,  while the corresponding values for particle 2 are  m2 = 2.86  10-5 kg  and  q2 = +19 ?C.  Initially the particles are at rest. The particles are both located on the same electric field line but are separated from each other by a distance d. Particle 1 is located to the left of particle 2. When released, they accelerate but always remain at this same distance from each other. Find d.
