A positively charged particle starts at rest 25 cm from a second positively charged particle which is held stationary throughout the experiment. The first particle is released and accelerates directly away from the second particle. When the first particle has moved 25cm, it has reached a velocity of 10 m/s. What is the maximum velocity that the first particle will reach? The answer is 14m/s but I am not sure how to work it....
I really need someone to help me understand how to work this question.
