Two identical charged spheres released from rest at distance \(d\).
Two identical charged spheres released from rest at distance \(d\).
Two small spheres, each with mass \(m\) and positive charge \(q\), are initially held at rest a distance \(d\) apart on a frictionless, insulating horizontal surface. The spheres are released simultaneously and accelerate away from each other due to their mutual electrostatic repulsion. Which of the following expressions represents the speed \(v\) of each sphere when the distance between them is \(2d\)?
