Particle 1 has a mass of m1 3.6 106 kg, while particle 2 has a mass of m2 6.2 106 kg. Each has the same electric charge. These particles are initially held at rest, and the two-particle system has an initial electric potential energy of 0.150 J. Suddenly, the particles are released and fly apart because of the repulsive electric force that acts on each one (see Figure 19.29). The effects of the gravitational force are negligible, and no other forces act on the particles. At one instant following the release, the speed of particle 1 is measured to be v1 170 m/s. What is the electric potential energy of the two-particle system at this instant? Con
