Treat the spheres as point charges

Reference no: EM13653060

A small metal sphere of mass 6.9 g and charge 5.9 μC is fired with an initial speed of 4.9 m/s directly toward the center of asecond metal sphere carrying charge 7.2 μC. This second sphereis held fixed. If the spheres are initially a large distance apart, how close do they get to each other? Treat the spheres as point charges.
