INSTRUCTION: Answer the following questions. Write the letter of the correct answer before each
number. Show your solution for items that require computations and your explanation for conceptual
items. Submit to the faculty on duty and wait for it to be corrected. You should get a perfect score to
move on to the next learning quest. If your answer on a certain item is wrong you are obliged to present
another answer plus an explanation why you committed a mistake. This process will be repeated until you
get the right answer.

Instruction:

1. Illustrate the situation described in the problem below. Label it with the given quantities and the
quantity being asked.
2. Make a Conceptual Reasoning diagram involving the quantities in the problem.
3. Solve the problem.

Problem:

Two particles are held 1.0 mm apart. One particle has a mass of 1.0 x 10 -5 kg and a net charge
of + 3.2 x 10-10 C. The other particle has a mass of 2.0 x 10-5 kg and a net charge
of + 4.8 x10-10 C. If the two particles are released, what will their speeds be when they are 2.0
mm apart?
