Two 2.1-mm-diameter beads, C and D, are 10 mm apart, measured between their centers. Bead C has mass 1.0 g and charge 1.6 nC. Bead D has mass 2.3 g and charge -1.0 nC.
1) If the beads are released from rest, what is the speed vC of C at the instant the beads collide?
2) What is the speed vD of D at the instant the beads collide?
