8 cm and r There are two conductive metal balls, each with a mass of m, and a radius of r₁ = 2 cm as seen in the figure. The metal balls are initially held and released. There is an electric field in the vicinity that is directed from a ball of large radius to a ball of small radius. The distance Decoupled between the centers of the balls before allowing them to move is Ro - 15 cm. At first, the large metal ball is charged by q, and the small one has no charge. When we allow the system to move freely, the metal balls will collide repeatedly, and the collisions will be head-on and perfectly elastic. At each collision the interaction leads to a uniform charge distribution on the balls throughout the whole process. Calculate the total distance taken from the first collision until the (n+1)th collision where n> 1 in terms of n² cm. Answer: +9 T₁ 1543
