Consider an object has a mass of 33.8 kg. Now imagine taking all the protons out of the object and stuffing them into a box. Also take all the electrons out of the object and stuff them in a second box.  Youve separated the boxes of protons and electrons by a distance of 78 m. If you were to release the clump of protons from their box, how much acceleration would the clump of protons undergo due to its attraction to the clump of electrons in the other box?       9.16E+23 m/s^2     1.15E+23 m/s^2     2.29E+23 m/s^2     4.58E+23 m/s^2
