CP Two plastic spheres, each carrying charge uniformly distributed throughout its interior, are initially placed in contact and then released. One sphere is 60.0 cm in diameter, has mass 50.0 g, and contains -10.0 µC of charge. The other sphere is 40.0 cm in diameter, has mass 150.0 g, and contains -30.0 µC of charge. Find the maximum acceleration and the maximum speed achieved by each sphere (relative to the fixed point of their initial location in space), assuming that no other forces are acting on them. (Hint: The uniformly distributed charges behave as though they were concentrated at the centers of the two spheres.)
