Textbook Question

Chapter 17, Problem 22P

You have a system of two negatively charged objects separated by some arbitrary finite distance. (a) What is the sign of their potential energy? (Remember that charged that are infinitely far from each other have zero potential energy.) (b) What can you do to decrease this energy? (c) Draw an energy bar chart for this process of decreasing the energy.

20. Two small conducting spheres are placed on top of insulating pads. The 3.7 × 10-10 C sphere is fixed whie the 3.0 × 107 C sphere, initially at rest, is free to move. The mass of each sphere is 0.09 kg. If the spheres are initially 0.10 m apart, how fast will the sphere be moving when they are 1.5 m apart?
