What do scientists mean when they talk about strong nuclear force and binding energy?
Nuclear forces are those forces which act in very short ranges and they are independent on the charge carried by that particle , for example nuclear forces are seen to act between neutron - proton, proton-proton,neutron-neutron and these forces are attractive in nature .These forces act when the above particles are very close to each other in the nucleus. Whereas Binding energy is the energy required to maintain the particles,neutron ;proton, in the nucleus.
Forces can hold groups of atoms together in?
The forces that hold groups of atoms together are the strong nuclear forces. It has a short range, which means that particles must be extremely close before its effects are felt.
Three types of non-contact forces?
Wherever you got this question from is clearly defining "non-contact forces" in some special way, and without knowing what it is, we can't answer the question. There are only two long-range forces: gravity and electromagnetism. The two nuclear forces act only over very, very short distances (an atom is huge compared to the effective range of the nuclear forces).
Why do high mountain ranges have short summers?
High mountain ranges have short summers due to their high elevation, which results in colder temperatures. The high altitude causes the air to be less dense, leading to cooler temperatures even during the summer months. Additionally, the steep slopes of mountain ranges can block sunlight, further limiting the length and intensity of the summer season.
What force only works on the microscopic scale?
The four forces are:gravity - very long range and always attractiveelectromagnetic - long rangeweak nuclear force - very short range, limited to atomic nucleusstrong nuclear force - very short range, limited to atomic nucleus
What is a weak boson?
A boson responsible for carrying the weak nuclear force (responsible for beta decay). There are three different kinds W-, Z0, and W+ all rather heavy and acting only over short ranges.
Which two forces are responsible for holding the atom together?
The nucleus consists of protons and neutrons. Inside the nucleus, there is an electrostatic force of repulsion between the protons. Those protons have positive charges, and like charges repel. Also acting in the nucleus is a force of attraction called the nuclear force. It provides the nuclear binding energy to keep the nucleus together. This nuclear force is a short range force, and is so strong that it will overcome the effect of the force of repulsion between the protons.
What causes the strong interaction?
Nuclear force are extremely strong because their magnitude is so high that a huge energy is required to divide a nucleus into its constituent. The relative strengths of gravitational (FG),electrostatic (Fe) and nuclear (FN) force acting in the nucleus are given below: FG = Fe = FN =1 : 1036 : 1038 However , they are short range forces ,they act only over a short range of distance.
What is the meaning of nukes?
Short (or slang) for "nuclear weapons." Indeed..... nukes=nuclear....how dumb can you get...
Which of these two forces becomes strongest in the end?
The strong nuclear force is the strongest of the four fundamental forces at very short distances within the atomic nucleus. Ultimately, gravity is the weakest force but becomes dominant on cosmic scales such as in the interaction of galaxies and the expansion of the universe.
Where did the term nuke come from?
It is short for Nuclear.
What forces keeps the planets in their orbits?
Gravity keeps the planets from shooting off in to space, while the planet's momentum prevents in from falling in to the sun. When these are balanced, an orbit is achieved.
