A particle of mass 73 g and charge 38muC is
released from rest when it is 46 cm from a
second particle of charge -17muC.
Determine the magnitude of the initial ac-
celeration of the 73 g particle. Answer in units
of m/s^2.
Well, I used this formula:
k [(q1 * q2) / mr^2)]
8.98755*E9 [(38*17)/ ((73/1000)*(.46^2))]
edit - fixed typo
= 3.7586 * E14
But it's wrong... any help appreciated. Thanks.
