Three small spheres, each with charge 4.00 mC , are arranged in a line, with sphere 2 in the middle. Adjacent spheres are initially 7.50 cm apart. The spheres have masses m1= 10.0 g , m2= 95.0 g , and m3= 10.0 g , and their radii are much smaller than their separation. The three spheres are released from rest. Ignore gravity and any possible friction.

-------

What is the magnitude of the acceleration of sphere 1 just after it is released? m/s^2

What is the speed of sphere 1 when the spheres are far apart? m/s
