Electrostatics: Coulomb's Law

Q- Two charges Qc and -Qc (Qc = 4 µC) are fixed on the x-axis at x = -6 cm and x = 6 cm, respectively. A third charge Qb = 5 µC is fixed at the origin. A particle with charge q = 0.5 µC and mass m = 6 g is placed on the y-axis at y = 14 cm and released. There is no gravity. Calculate the initial acceleration of the particle.
