A sphere of radius 0.25 m has positive charge +8.8 μC uniformly distributed on its surface. A small pellet of mass 0.075 kg and charge +2.4 μC is directed radially at the sphere. When the pellet is at a distance of 0.75 m from the centre of the sphere its speed is 3.2 m s1.

a. Determine the distance from the centre of the sphere at which the pellet will stop.
