U1=20 m/s turn it to km/h

Answerthe force between the charges will be  f/9 (one-ninth of force f)explanationcoulomb's law relates the magnitudes  two point charges q₁ and q₂, the distance, r, between the charges, and the electrostatic force, f, between the two charges:     k represents coulomb's constant, k = 8.99×10⁹ n·m²/c².note that if we have r = 3r, then   

I'm having some difficulty seeing the diagram clearly.but the question says there's a net inward force on the object.so we know right away,  from newton's 2nd law of motion, thatthat baby is accelerating.  it doesn't even matter which way thenet force is pointing.  if there's any net force, then either theobject's speed or else its direction must be changing.
