Explain why two electric charges of the same magnitude, when on a collision course with each other, won't actually collide (serious answers only)

Explanation:

When two charges of equal magnitude and sign approach each other, they interact through Coulomb's law

          F = k q1 q2 / r2

In you case the house are of equal magnitude and sign

          q1 = q2 = q

          F = k q2 / r2

Let's analyze this expression, the charge is repulsive on each charge, when they are on a collision course as they approach they feel an electric field opposite to their direction of movement, this field decreases its speed, the closer they get, the greater the repulsive force. , up to the point where this force is equal to or greater than the impulse, therefore the point where the velocity reaches zero, for this reason the particles do not actually touch

acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

change in speed = (20-120)= -100 m/s.

1.5 min = 90 sec

acceleration = -100/90 = -1.11 m/s^2.

we don't care about the 150kg or the 2,500 meters. they don't make any difference.
