1. a. Do the two protons attract or repulse due to the electric force? Do the two protons attract or repulse due to gravity? c. In a helium nucleus, two protons are separated by 1.5 fm (1.5x10-5 m). Find the electric force on one proton due to the other. [102.3 N] d. Find the gravitational force on one proton due to the other. [8.3x10-35 N] e. Which force is the strongest? Is it strongest by a little or a lot? (This isn't a trick question or anything, just trying to get you to think about the numbers. This is going to come up again later when we talk about the strong nuclear force.) 1. a. Do the two protons attract or repulse due to the electric force?
