^(00)Two red blood cells each have a mass of
9.05\times 10^(-14)kgand carry a negative charge spread uniformly over their surfaces. The
_(\pi )IT repulsion arising from the excess charge prevents the cells from clumping together. One cell carries -2.30 pC and the other the surrounding liquid. If the red blood cells start very far apart and move directly toward each other with the same speed, what initial speed
v
v=
(m)/(s)would each need so that they get close enough to just barely touch? What is the maximum acceleration
aof the cells as they move toward each other and just barely touch?
a=
(m)/(s^(2))
