Surface tension. It always tends to acquire minimum surface area thats why water droplets form spherical shape.

Force that affects all particles in a nucleus and acts only over a short range?

It is the strong nuclear force that holds the particles together in the nucleus. It is far stronger than the electromagnetic force over short ranges (particle separations of up to 2.5x10-15m), and so can overcome the repulsion that occurs between protons in the nucleus (typical distance approximately 1.25x10-15m) as a result of their positive charges.


What other particle is found in the nucleus?

It appears that you have some confusion about the particle physics inside the nucleus. Nothing "separates protons so that the strong force can hold the nucleus together", the strong force acts via the exchange of particles called mesons. The atomic nucleus contains particles called protons and neutrons. The strong force binds the protons and neutrons together via the exchange of particles called mesons between those protons and neutrons.


Where does surface tension occur?

surface layer molecules only have attractions downwards and sidewards no upwards attraction is there so the sidewards attraction will acts as a elastic force rusult to surface tension manoj kottakkal


What kind of solid acts like a liquid?

Finally divided powder or sand like solids behave just like liquids.


How does soap work with water to remove oily dirt?

Soap contains particles that have a polar end and a non-polar end. These particles are able to attach to oil particles and to water particles, enabling the oil to dissociate in the water and disperse. In this way, soap acts as an emulsifying agent.

What are the natural forces that affect running?

Drag. This is the force which acts against a runner and is the resultant force of the runner pushing against the particles in the air. Drag is affected by the mass and surface area of the runner. Friction is another force which can affect running.


Why does pressure force acts perpendicular to the body?

If that force is not perpendicular to the surface, then there is a component of the force that's parallel to the surface. That component would move fluid around, until there were no longer any force parallel to the surface ... and the whole force would again be perpendicular to the surface.
