Two particles, each of charge q and mass m, are held infixedpositions at a distance d from each other. A thirdidenticalparticle is then brought in from infinity and placed sothat aperfect equlateral triangle is formed by the particles, asdepictedin the diagram. Assume that the third particle was at restwhen itwas infinitely far away.

Given that q = 2.0 μC, m = 5.0 mg, and d = 2.0 cm:
a ) Determine the work which must be done by an externalagentto move the third particle into its position while the othertwoparticles remain in place.
b) Suppose that the three particles are suddenly released(fromrest) and allowed to move apart from each other, outtowardinfinity. Determine their final speeds when they areinfinitely faraway from each other.
Hint: Consider the symmetry of the situation to determinehowthe final speeds of the particles are related to eachother.

An alpha particle (a helium nucleus, containing 2 protons and 2 neutrons ) starts out with kinetic energy of 10 MeV (10×106 eV), and heads in the +x direction straight toward a gold nucleus (containing 79 protons and 118 neutrons). The particles are initially far apart, and the gold nucleus is initially at rest. Assuming that all speeds are small compared to the speed of light, answer the following questions about the collision. What is the final momentum of the alpha particle, long after it interacts with the gold nucleus?

Two meteoroids are heading for earth. Their speeds as they cross the moon's orbit are 1.5km/s .

A) The first meteoroid is heading straight for earth. What is its speed of impact?

B)The second misses the earth by 4000km . What is its speed at its closest point?

Ive checked the other solutions for problems with different speeds but none of them work when I plug in my speed of 1.5km/s
