A particle of charge +7.5 mC is released from rest at the point x = 60 cm on an x-axis. The particle begins to move due to the presence of a charge Q that remains fixed at the origin. What is the kinetic energy of the particle at the instant it has moved 40 cm if (a) Q = +20 mC and (b) Q = -20 mC?

Step 1
The particle starts at \( x_i = 60 \, \text{cm} \) and moves to \( x_f = 20 \, \text{cm} \) (since it moves 40 cm towards the origin). Show more…

A particle of charge +7.5 ÎĽC is released from rest at the point x = 60 cm on an x-axis. The particle begins to move due to the presence of a charge Q that remains fixed at the origin. What is the kinetic energy of the particle at the instant it has moved 40 cm if (a) Q = +20 ÎĽC and (b) Q = -20 ÎĽC?

A particle with a charge of $+5.0 \mu C$ is released from rest at a point on the $x$ -axis, where $x=0.10 \mathrm{~m}$. It begins to move as a result of the presence of a $+9.0-\mu C$ charge that remains fixed at the origin. What is the kinetic energy of the particle at the instant it passes the point $x=0.20 \mathrm{~m} ?$
Identical $50 \mu \mathrm{C}$ charges are fixed on an $x$ axis at $x=\pm 3.0 \mathrm{~m} .$ A particle of charge $q=-15 \mu \mathrm{C}$ is then released from rest at a point on the positive part of the $y$ axis. Due to the symmetry of the situation, the particle moves along the $y$ axis and has kinetic energy $1.2 \mathrm{~J}$ as it passes through the point $x=0, y=4.0 \mathrm{~m}$. (a) What is the kinetic energy of the particle as it passes through the origin? (b) At what negative value of $y$ will the particle momentarily stop?
