22M.2.HL.TZ2.c.ii

A metal sphere is charged positively and placed far away from other charged objects. The electric potential at a point on the surface of the sphere is 53.9 kV.

A small positively charged object moves towards the centre of the metal sphere. When the object is 2.8 m from the centre of the sphere, its speed is 3.1 m s⁻¹. The mass of the object is 0.14 g and its charge is 2.4 × 10⁻⁸C.

Show that the kinetic energy of the object is about 0.7 mJ.
