Two charged point particles both of mass m = 1 g and q = 1 µC are on a horizontal surface without friction with each other by means of a spring of elastic constant k = 0.2 N / m, at rest it is negligible. Is requested a) Find the length of the spring for which the master is in equilibrium b) Calculate the energy that is needed to stretch the spring from the length it has when the system is in equilibrium until it is one meter

Two charged point particles both of mass m = 1 g and q = 1 µC are on a horizontal surface without friction with each other by means of a spring of elastic constant k = 0.2 N / m, at rest it is negligible. Is requested a) Find the length of the spring for which the master is in equilibrium b) Calculate the energy that is needed to stretch the spring from the length it has when the system is in equilibrium until it is one meter c) From this last position in which the distance between the charges is one meter and starting from rest, the charges are allowed to move, would they come closer to each other until the distance that separates them is 10 cm? if they don't explain why. If they do find the velocity of the charges when they reach that distance.
