Chapter 1: Problem 24

The \(\ldots \ldots \ldots \ldots \ldots\) force is the strongest of all fundamental forces. (a) nuclear (b) Electromagnetic (c) Gravitational (d) Weak nuclear

Short Answer

Expert verified
The strongest of all fundamental forces is the strong nuclear force, which is responsible for binding protons and neutrons together within the atomic nucleus. In the given options, the closest match to the strong nuclear force is (a) Nuclear. Therefore, the correct answer is (a) Nuclear.

Step by step solution

01

Understand the given options

We are given four choices, which are the fundamental forces in nature: (a) nuclear (b) Electromagnetic (c) Gravitational (d) Weak nuclear It is important to understand what each force does before identifying the strongest one.
02

Recall the properties and roles of fundamental forces

(a) Nuclear: It is actually called the "strong nuclear force". This force is responsible for binding protons and neutrons together within the atomic nucleus. (b) Electromagnetic: This force is responsible for the interactions between charged particles. It includes electric and magnetic forces. (c) Gravitational: This force is responsible for the attraction between massive objects. It is the force that governs the larger scale structure of the universe, like the motion of planets and stars. (d) Weak nuclear: This force is responsible for certain types of nuclear interactions, like beta decay. It is weaker than the strong nuclear force but stronger than gravitational force.
03

Compare the strengths of fundamental forces

Now that we understand the properties and roles of each fundamental force, we can compare their strengths. The order of the strengths of these forces from strongest to weakest is: 1. Strong nuclear force 2. Electromagnetic force 3. Weak nuclear force 4. Gravitational force
04

Identify the strongest force from the given options

From the comparison in Step 3, it is clear that the strongest of all fundamental forces is the strong nuclear force. In the given options, the closest match to the strong nuclear force is (a) Nuclear. So the correct answer is: (a) Nuclear
