Explanation:

• Glue: It creates an adhesive force that holds objects together, so it's attraction.
• A magnet sticking to a locker: Magnets attract ferromagnetic materials like the metal in a locker, so it's attraction.
• Gravity: It is a force that pulls objects towards each other, so it's attraction.
• Pushing a swing away from you: This is a force that moves the swing in a direction away, so it's repulsion.
• Two positively - charged protons: Like charges repel each other according to electrostatics, so it's repulsion.
• Hitting a baseball with a bat: The bat exerts a force to move the ball away, so it's repulsion.

Answer:

Attraction: glue, a magnet sticking to a locker, gravity
Repulsion: pushing a swing away from you, two positively charged protons, hitting a baseball with a bat
