Step 1: Identify the given values and the type of force to calculate. The question asks for the "attraction" between a hydrogen proton and an electron, and provides their masses, the distance between them, and the gravitational constant G. This indicates that we should calculate the gravitational force of attraction. Given values: • Mass of proton (m_p) = 1.67 × 10^-27 kg • Mass of electron (m_e) = 9.1 × 10^-31 kg • Distance (r) = 0.053 nm = 0.053 × 10^-9 m •
