Answer #1

Answer:

Given data:

The gravitational force can be calculated with the formula:

where:
F=gravitational force
G=gravitational constant (G = 6.67×10−11N⋅m2kg2)
M=mass of asteroid (M = 6.2 x 10^12 kg )
m=mass of another asteroid (m = 2.6 x 10^12 kg )
r=distance between the asteroids (r = 249 km = 249 x 103 m)

Substitute the values and solve for the gravitational force.

F=GMm/r2

Two particles each have a mass of 5.6 x 10-4 kg. One has a charge of +5.4 x 10-6 C, and the other has a charge of -5.4 x 10-6 C. They are initially held at rest at a distance of 0.72 m apart. Both are then released and accelerate toward each other. How fast is each particle moving when the separation between them is one-third its initial value?
