A force with inifinite range would for example be the gravitation. Since we are a great distance away from the sun, and we can still feel its pull it would be considered an inifinte range force
a short range force for example would be the the glue force in the nucleus iof an atom. When particles are brought together until they almost stick together, this force will act upon them, if they separate only a fraction of the given distance, the force will not act upon them anymore. its like glue on your hands, when you put your hands together very closely , not touching yet, and separate them, nothing nwill happen, if you let them touch, they will stick until separated again.
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
electromagnetic - long range, either attractive or repulsive, moderateweak nuclear - short range, either attractive or repulsive, weakstrong nuclear - very short range, either attractive or repulsive, very stronggravity - long range, always attractive, very weak

The weak nuclear force is considered the weakest fundamental force in nature. It is responsible for the radioactive decay of subatomic particles and has a very short range compared to the other fundamental forces.
Dipole-dipole forces are considered to be short-range forces. They occur between molecules that possess permanent dipoles due to differences in electronegativity, and they typically act over small distances.
The range of the electromagnetic and gravitational forces is infinite. The strong nuclear force acts over a very short range of about 10^-15 meters within the atomic nucleus. The weak nuclear force has a range of about 10^-18 meters.
The weak nuclear force is a short-range force. It acts over distances on the scale of atomic nuclei, which are very small compared to macroscopic scales.
The electric force has a longer range than the strong force. The electric force can act over long distances, such as between charged particles in atoms and molecules, while the strong force is restricted to acting only over very short distances within atomic nuclei.
The descriptive term that does not apply to nuclear force is "long-range." Nuclear force is a short-range force that acts within the atomic nucleus to bind protons and neutrons together.
The strong nuclear force is responsible for binding protons and neutrons together in the nucleus. It is a short-range force that only acts over distances on the order of a few femtometers.
they attract one another
Strong force or weak force? I'll assume strong force and say ~ 1.7 fm, which is approximately the diameter of a proton or neutron.

The two forces that act only over a very short range are the strong nuclear force and the weak nuclear force. The strong nuclear force binds protons and neutrons together within the nucleus of an atom, while the weak nuclear force is responsible for certain types of radioactive decay.

There are basically four different forces in nature: the strong nuclear force, the weak force, electrical/magnetic forces (the two are closely related), and gravitation. Each force has its own set of rules. The strong nuclear force attracts protons and neutrons among themselves, in the atom's nucleus. This force has a very short range, it is an attractive force. The electrical force has an infinite range (of course it gets weaker at greater distances), it can be attractive or repulsive, and it acts on a different sets of particles. For example, a proton and a neutron will attract each other with the strong nuclear force, but they won't attract each other electrically, because the neutron is electrically neutral.
