Two protons are separated by 10^-¹⁶ m. The nuclear (N), electrostatic (E), and gravitational (G) forces between these protons when written in order of increasing strength are:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The gravitational force between two protons is the weakest, followed by the electrostatic force, and then the nuclear force. Therefore, the correct order of increasing strength is G, E, N.
