To solve the problem of where the collision will occur with respect to the initial positions of the two charged particles, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the System We have two charged particles with masses \( m \) and \( 2m \) placed a distance \( d \) apart on a smooth horizontal table. They will move towards each other due to their mutual attraction. ### Step 2: Identify the Center of Mass The center of mass (CM) of a system of particles can be calculated using the formula: \[ ...
