How the uncertainity principle help us to explain the nuclear force?

Well. If you have heard of Schrodinger's Cat Expirement. You place a cat in a box with a decaying nucleus and a Geiger Counter. You can never be sure if the cat is alive or dead until you actually open the box and see it. So before you see it, the cat is presumed dead and alive at the same time since Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle doesn't allow us to be sure if the nucleus has decayed yet.

What is it about the nucleus that requires a nuclear force?
the composition of the nucleus is mostly positive charges or protons. From electrostatics, we know that positive charges repel each other so, in principle, the nucleus should split apart! Since that doesn't happen, there must be another force of extraordinary magnitude keeping the nucleus together. That is the Nuclear Force. The electrostatic repulsion force of the protons is of the order of 1/r^2, where r is the distance between the protons. As the protons get closer and closer, this repulsion force increases significantly. It is no wonder that the nuclear force and, thus nuclear energy, is the largest known to man!
Would there be a stronger gravitational force acting among the particles of a helium nucleus or the particles of a uranium nucleus Explain?
Neither, the strength of the gravitational force between the subatomic particles inside nuclei is negligible compared to the strength of both the weak nuclear force or the strong nuclear force between the same subatomic particles inside those nuclei.
This is the type of nuclear force that binds the nucleus of an atom together?
That is the strong nuclear force.
What are the 4 forces that hold an atom together?
electromagnetic - holds electrons to nucleusweak - mediates neutron decay processstrong - holds nucleus togethergravity - has no effectOnly 3 of the 4 forces act to hold atoms together.
What is the force that is responsible for the radioactivity that allows us to make nuclear power and atomic bombs?
There are two forces responsible for radioactivity: the Strong nuclear force and the Weak nuclear force.
Explain Nuclear forces and their properties-meson theory?

How does the strong nuclear force affect matter?
The strong nuclear force affects matter by "building" it. Matter as we generally know it is composed of atoms. Atoms are built from protons, neutrons and electrons, and protons and neutrons are built from quarks. It is the strong nuclear force that binds the quarks and gluons together to make up the protons and neutrons. This is a straight forward way to explain how the strong nuclear force (strong interaction) affects matter.

How we explain varignon's theorem and prove them?
The Principle of Moments, also known as Varignon's Theorem, states that the moment of any force is equal to the algebraic sum of the moments of the components of that force. It is a very important principle that is often used in conjunction with the Principle of Transmissibility in order to solve systems of forces that are acting upon and/or within a structure.Type your answer here...
What 3 words holds protons and neutrons together in the nucleus?
The force between nucleons is called nuclear force.
What is the most powerful force?
The strongest force known is called the "strong force" or "strong nuclear force".
