Answer

$76fm$

Work Step by Step

We can find the required distance as $K.E=\frac{KqQ}{d}$ This can be rearranged as: $d=\frac{KqQ}{K.E}$ $d=\frac{K(2e)(79e)}{K.E}$ $d=\frac{158Ke^2}{K.E}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $d=\frac{158(8.99\times 10^9)(1.60\times 10^{-19})^2}{(93.0\times 10^6)(1.60\times 10^{-19})}$ $d=76fm$
