Solving a Two-Charge System: Find Acceleration & Velocity

[Aleale978]

Hey I need some help figuring out this problem
Diagram is attached below
Thanks

Two charges are arranged as shown below. Particle q1 is fixed in it's position but q2 is free to move. Assume the two particles start at rest with separation near zero. The mass of q2 is m.



a. Create an equation that will give the acceleration of q2 in terms of the separation, d.

b. Create an equation that will give the velocity of q2 in terms of time, t.
