One newly discovered light particle has a mass of m and property q. Suppose it moves within the vicinity of an extremely heavy (fixed in place) particle
with a property Q and mass M. When the light particle is xi distance from the heavy particle, it is moving directly away from the heavy particle with a
speed of vi. a) What is the lighter particle's speed when it is xf away from the heavy particle?
Amım2
Consider a new expression for gravitation potential energy as: PEgrav =
É, where A is a constant, m, and m2 are the masses of the two
r
objects, and r is the distance between them.
Moreover, the new particle has an additional interaction with the heavy particle through the following force expression
1 qQ
4TE, r?
Fnew
where Eo is a constant that is read as epsilon subscript 0, q and Q are their new properties, r is the distance between the new particle and the heavy
particle.
Solution:
We may solve this using two approaches. One involves the Newton's Laws and the other involving Work-Energy theorem.
To avoid the complexity of vector solution, we will instead employ the Work-Energy theorem, more specifically, the Conservation of Energy Principle.
Let us first name the lighter particle as object 1 and the heavy particle as object 2.
Through work-energy theorem, we will take into account all of the energy of the two-charged particle system before and after traveling a certain
distance as
KE1F+ KE2F + PEgravf + Uelasticf + Unewf = KE1; + KE2i + PEgravi +
+ Unewi
Since the heavy particle remains fixed, before and after the motion of the lighter particle, it does not have any velocity, moreover, there is no spring
involved, so
KE16 +
+ Unewf =
+
+ Unewi
(Equation 1)

For all energies, we know the following
KE =mv
Am,m2
PE grav
Uelastic = kx?
2
Unew = (1/
/(r
where in we have
m1 = m, m2 = M, 91 = q and q2 = Q
By substituting all these to Equation 1 and then simplifying results to
= sqrt( v
