Nuclear forces are short range forces ............ EXPLAIN .............?

Question

NUCLEAR FORCES is a hard *** easy topic ............

so ......................................@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Answer 1

THEY ARE AND IT IS RIGHT ALSO BECAUSE NUCLEAR FORCES CAUSE GREAT DEVASTATION AND ATOMIC POWER GETS REDUCED WITH DISTANCES

SO IT IS

Answer 2

Very Simple

Inside a nucleus there are neutrons and protons, one is neutral and the other positive. To keep these two together there is a force that acts like a glue. It is called " strong nuclear force"...

It is proven that this nuclear force acts through short distances unlike Gravitational or Electromagnetic forces and it is about 10 ^ -15 m. That's why it is called a short range... It acts at very small distances, inside an atom

Answer 3

Nuclear forces are short range, meaning they are felt only at distances less than the radius of an atomic nucleus.

An easy way to imagine this is when you stick a few marbles together with a little freshly-chewed bubble gum. The gum sticks them together. As you pull the marbles apart, it can be hard to do so, since the gum keeps everything together. However, this happens only up to a certain point. Beyond that, the gum is not strong enough to pull them back together, and the particles fall apart.

Answer 4

The so-called strong force is but one of four fundamental forces in our observable universe. The other three are: weak, electro-magnetic, and gravitational forces. Recently, some physicists are unifying weak and EM into something called electro-weak force.

Some of your answerers have already described the stong force pretty well...it acts solely within the nucleous of an atom. EM force is just photons of all frequencies; and gravity is no stranger to most people. So weak force needs to be described here.

Wiki describes a weak nuclear force as:

"The weak interaction (often called the weak force or sometimes the weak nuclear force) is one of the four fundamental interactions of nature. In the Standard Model of particle physics, it is due to the exchange of the heavy W and Z bosons. Its most familiar effect is beta decay (of neutrons in atomic nuclei) and the associated radioactivity. The predicate "weak" derives from the fact that the field strength is some 10^13 times less than that of the strong force" [See source 1.]

But weak forces may not exist. They may be in fact carried (transmitted) by the EM force, which is why electro-weak is now supported by some physicists. Check out this:

"Earlier in this decade, it was shown in a brilliant piece of detective work by Sheldon Glashow, Abdus Salam, and Steven Weinberg that the electro-magnetic force and the weak nuclear force are actually one and the same. Radio-active decay is carried by photons after all, and weak bosons don't exist." [See source 2.]

Force unification is one of the major driving motivations in modern physics. That is, physicists would like one set of interrelated equations to explain (unify) the four forces. Their rationale for this motivation is that shortly after the big bang (ATBB), our observable universe was so incredibly hot that only one force could possibly exist then. It was only after the universe cooled a bit that the four forces split out from that one unified force. So there must be some way to describe that one unified force...to unify the four fundamental forces. If such a unification theory could be found, it would be what some people call "The Theory of Everything."

A lot of brilliant minds are banking on M-theory (an off shoot of string theory) to be that Theory of Everything.

Answer 5

The reliable and susceptible tension are the two standard forces interior our universe. The the two act on the nucleus of atoms yet in diverse techniques. reliable - This tension holds Quarks, the parts that make up the proton and neutron in atoms, at the same time. The reliable interplay is termed reliable as a results of fact its the main efficient of the 4 standard forces and has a typical capability a hundred situations greater desirable than the Electromagnetic tension. The tension binds the nucleus at the same time and in elementary terms acts on short distances, the skill of this tension is considered whilst a nuclear bomb is spark off as a results of fact the atomic nucleus is divided and the skill is lost. susceptible - The susceptible interplay (oftentimes referred to as the susceptible tension or each and every each and every now and then the susceptible nuclear tension) is one in all the 4 standard interactions of nature. Its maximum basic effect is beta decay (of neutrons in atomic nuclei) and the linked radioactivity. The word susceptible derives from the shown fact that the common container capability is 10^-13 the capability of the reliable tension. intimately the susceptible interplay is the only interplay able to fixing quark style and is using the replace of heavy W and Z bosons.

Answer 6

nuclear forces, the strong and the weak, only work inside the nucleus of the atom, as opposed to elecrticity and gravity which are infinite in extend. Consider the nuclear forces like velcro which works only when the objects are touching, velcro does not hold things together if they are not in contact, right? Same with the strong nuclear force, it only holds protons and nutrons together if they are in contact.
