Two electrons, each with mass mmm and charge qqq, are released from positions very far from each other. With respect to a certain reference frame, electron A has initial nonzero speed vvv toward electron B in the positive x direction, and electron B has initial speed 3v3v toward electron A in the negative x direction. The electrons move directly toward each other along the x axis (very hard to do with real electrons). As the electrons approach each other, they slow due to their electric repulsion. This repulsion eventually pushes them away from each other.

What is the minimum separation r_min that the electrons reach?

The answer & explanation for this question is given in the attachment below.

double the distance = divide strength by 4

  distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.

explanation:

the instantaneous velocity = change in position/time taken

the slope of the graph should give instantaneous velocity.

  slope of a graph = change in value of y -axis / change in values of x -axis

  comparing both the equations

    change in value of y -axis = change in position

  change in values of x -axis = time taken

so position values should be on the y axis and time values should be on the x axis.

distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.
