Two fixed point charges are placed in air: a positive charge \(+8.0\,\mu\text{C}\) at the origin \((0,0)\) and a negative charge \(-2.0\,\mu\text{C}\) at \((0,0.30\,\text{m})\). A small sphere carrying a charge \(q = +1.0\,\mu\text{C}\) and mass \(m = 2.0\,\text{g}\) is released from rest at point \(P(0.50\,\text{m}, 0)\). It moves only under the electrostatic force and reaches point \(Q(0.50\,\text{m}, 0.30\,\text{m})\). Assuming no other forces, calculate the speed of the sphere when it arrives at \(Q\).
