Halliday, Resnick & Walker — Coulomb's Law: Problem 28

28 Two particles are fixed on an x axis. Particle 1 of charge 50 μC is located at x = –2.0 cm; particle 2 of charge Q is located at x = 3.0 cm. Particle 3 of charge magnitude 20 μC is released from rest on the y axis at y = 2.0 cm. What is the value of Q if the initial acceleration of particle 3 is in the positive direction of (a) the x axis and (b) the y axis?

📝 Solution Approach

Given: 2.0 cm, 3.0 cm

Find: (a) the x axis and; (b) the y axis?
