Question

Why is the following situation impossible? You set up an apparatus in your laboratory as follows. The x axis is the symmetry axis of a stationary, uniformly charged ring of radius R = 0.500 m and charge Q = 50.0 μC (as shown). You place a particle with charge Q = 50.0 μC and mass m = 0.100 kg at the center of the ring and arrange for it to be constrained to move only along the x axis. When it is displaced slightly, the particle is repelled by the ring and accelerates along the x axis. The particle moves faster than you expected and strikes the opposite wall of your laboratory at 40.0 m/s.
