Whipped by winds gusting at 10,000 km/hr, rising and falling in convective currents, you are not having a good time. On the rare occasions when you can assess your surroundings, you notice a horizon that seems to go on "forever" (or, at least, much farther than the horizon on Earth), and no solid surface anywhere. You get a glimpse of several large moons. The Sun races through your sky, requiring only about 5 hours to rise nearly due east, cross the meridian at an altitude of about 55° in the north, and then set due west.
Potential Energy: Point charges +4.00 ?C and +2.00 ?C are placed at the opposite corners of a rectangle as shown in the figure. If these charges are released and are free to move with no friction, what is the maximum amount of kinetic energy they will gain? (k = 1/4??0 = 8.99 × 109 N ? m2/C2)
