Calculate the magnitude of acceleration for skid and mitch

Reference no: EM13997718

Skid of 40kg and Mitch of 60kg are standing on ice opposite sides of an inifnite black pit. They are each carrying neutral massless spheres while standing 8m apart. Suppose that 3.0E15 electrons are removed from one sphere and placed on the other.

A) calculate magnitude of the electrostatic forces on each sphere.

B) Calculate the magnitude of the acceleration for Skid and Mitch at the moment they are 8m apart.

C) As Skid and Mitch move closer, does their acceleration increase, decrease or stay the same?
