Two hypothetical planets of masses m1 and m2 and radii r1 and r2, respectively, are nearly at rest when they are an infinite distance apart. Because of their gravitational attraction, they head each other a collision course. When their centre to centre separation is d, find an expression for the speed of each planet and for their relative speed.

Consider two conducting spheres with radii R1 and R2 separated by a distance much greater than either radius. A total charge Q is shared between the spheres. The total charge Q is equal to q1 + q2, where q1 represents the charge on the first sphere and q2 the charge on the second. Because the spheres are very far apart, you can assume the charge of each is uniformly distributed over its surface. Show that the energy associated with a single conducting sphere of radius R and charge q is surrounded by a vacuum is U = keq2/2R. 


A small metal sphere q1, carrying a net charge of = -2.60microC ,is held in a stationary position by insulating supports. A secondsmall metal sphere, q2 with a net charge of = -7.90microC and mass1.50g , is projected toward q1 . When the two spheres are 0.800mapart, q2 is moving toward q1 with speed 21.0m/s . Assume that thetwo spheres can be treated as point charges. You can ignore theforce of gravity. How close does q1 get to q2 ?
