    How Does Varying Charge Affect Initial Acceleration of Point Charges?

    They are inversely proportional so the acceleration should be Ao/2?

    How Does Varying Charge Affect Initial Acceleration of Point Charges?

    Q1 Since both charges are the same they will repel one another. So I was comparing this problem to a ping pong ball problem I had in Physics I, when the force of the wall equals the force of the ball thrown. Wouldn't the acceleration just be Ao? Q2 Since F=ma the mass is proportional to the...

    How Does Varying Charge Affect Initial Acceleration of Point Charges?

    Q1. If two point charges have equal mass and and charg are released on a frictionless table, each has an initial acceleration (Ao). if instead you keep one fixed and release the other one, what will be its initial acceleration?Ao,2Ao or Ao/2? Q2. A point charge of mass (m) and charge (q)...
