An electron and a positron are located 17 m away from each other and held fixed by some mechanism. The positron has the same mass and the same magnitude of charge as those of the electron, but its charge is positive. The electron and the positron are released at the same time by the mechanism. The electron and the positron begin to speed up towards each other. What velocities should they have when they are 1.3 m away from each other?
