Two negatively charged objects A and B (both -1.5 x 10 -6 C) are initially infinitely apart, traveling at the same speed of 2.4 x 10 6 m/s. They are on track to collide head-on, until the point they come to rest at a distance of 1.0mm from one another. Assuming mass A is double that of mass B, what are the masses of the two charges?
