Hi, i need help on this question...
A 25g blue ball carrying a 150μC charge is being held 1.5m from another plastic ball (fixed to the ground) carrying 27μC charge.
a) If the 25g blue ball were released (from original position), what would its initial acceleration be?
(answer: 648m/s^2)
equation/explanation appreciated and :D ~ !

okay i got it didnt take physics in a while so had to calculate it to make sure and it was right.
force electrostics(fe)=(8.99e9(constant) *charge1 (q1)*charge2 (q2))/ distance ^2 once you have the electrostatic force find the acceleration. with Force=mass/acceleration. rearrange the equation to get acceleration. Force/Mass=Acceleration. Make sure you have current units uC is 1^-6 of a charge. Hope that helps.
