    Answer:

    Explanation:

    charge on each proton = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

    mass of proton = 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

    Electrostatic force of repulsion Fe = 9 x 10⁹ x ( 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ )² / d²

    = 23.04 x 10⁻²⁹ / d²

    Gravitational  force of attraction = G Mm / d²

    M = m = 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

    Gravitational  force of attraction  Fg = 6.67  x 10⁻¹¹ x ( 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ )² / d²

    = 18.60 x 10⁻⁻⁶⁵ / d²

    So Fg is far less than Fe and former is attractive , later is repulsive .

    Fe > Fg, opposite direction , is the answer .
