Part B Calculate the gravitational force of attraction for two protons separated

Question

Part B Calculate the gravitational force of attraction for two protons separated by 80.0 pm. The mass of a proton is mp = 1.673 × 10-27 kg. Express your answer using two significant figures. Submit Part C If allowed to move, will the protons be repelled or attracted to one another? Electrostatic repulsion is much less than gravitational attraction and the protons move apart. trostatic repulsion is much greater than gravitational attraction and the protons move apart Electrostatic repulsion is much greater than gravitational attraction and the nrotons move together

Explanation / Answer

B)

attraction equation

F =k * m1*m2 / d^2

where m = masses, d = distances and k = constant of attraction (6.674*10^-11)m3kg1s2

F = ((6.674*10^-11)((1.673*10^-27)^2) / (80*10^-12)^2

F = 2.9187*10^-44 N

C

Electronstatic charges are stronger than atraction forces, threfore, they will move appart
