Two initially uncharged conductors, 1 and 2, are mounted on insulating stands and are in contact, as shown below. A negatively charged rod is brought near but does not touch them. With the rod held in place, conductor 2 is moved to the right by pushing its stand, so that the conductors are separated. Which of the following is now true of conductor 2? O a It is positively charged. It is uncharged. O b It is charged, but its sign cannot be predicted. O d It is negatively charged.

One particle has a mass of 3.71 x 103 kg and a charge of +7.56 μC. A second particle has a mass of 7.17 x 103 kg and the same charge. The two particles are initially held in place and then released. The particles fly apart, and when the separation between them is 0.177 m, the speed of the 3.71 x 103 kg-particle is 126 m/s. Find the initial separation between the particles.
