Consider two identical metallic spheres of radius R each having charge Q and mass m. Their centers have an initial separation of 4R. Both the spheres are given an initial speed of u towards each other. The minimum value of u, so that they can just touch each other is: (Take k = 14 0 and assume kQ2 > Gm2 where G is the Gravitational constant)

1. kQ24mR (1 + Gm2kQ2 )
2. kQ22mR (1 - Gm22kQ2 )
3. kQ22mR (1 - Gm2kQ2 )
4. kQ24mR (1 - Gm2kQ2 )
