Question

two small metal sphereswith masses 2g and 4g are tied toegether by a 5.4cm long masslessstring and are at rest on a frictionless surface. each is charged+1.9 nanocoulombs. a) what is the energy of this system b) what is the tension in the string? c) The string is cut. What is the speed of each sphere whenthey are far apart? two small metal sphereswith masses 2g and 4g are tied toegether by a 5.4cm long masslessstring and are at rest on a frictionless surface. each is charged+1.9 nanocoulombs. a) what is the energy of this system b) what is the tension in the string? c) The string is cut.

Explanation / Answer

I dont really know where to get started on this problem for part a i dont really see how there is any energy becausethe objects are at rest so no kinetic and they are on the deskso no potential... so i thought. im not looking for the answer just a starting point.thanks!
