Particles 1 and 2 have the same magnitude of charge but opposite in sign: q1 = -92 = 6.48 nC. However, m1 » m2 = 36.5 µg such that particle 1 can be regarded as stationary in their electrical interaction. Suppose that they are initially separated by a distance of 2.52 cm. The magnitude of the escape velocity of particle 2 needed to escape from the pull of particle 1 to infinity is most nearly
