Two particles each have a mass of `6.0 xx 10^(-3)` kg. One has a charge of `+5.0 xx 10^(-6)` C. and the other has a charge of `-5.0 xx 10^(-6)` C. They are initially held at rest at a distance of 0.80 m apart. Both are then released and accelerate toward each other. How fast is each particle moving when the separation between them is one-third its initial value?

A

`7.3` m/s

B

`3.9` m/s

C

`9.7` m/s
