Consider two identical metallic spheres of radius $R$ each having charge $Q$ and mass $m$. Their centers have an initial separation of $4 R$. 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 $k=\frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_0}$ and assume $k Q^2 > G m^2$ where $G$ is the Gravitational constant)
