Question

question 14 of 27 which fundamental force is very strong across a short distance? a. electromagnetic b. gravitational c. strong nuclear d. weak nuclear

Explanation:

The strong nuclear force binds protons and neutrons in the nucleus. It is extremely strong over very short distances (on the order of nuclear - scale distances, about $10^{-15}$ meters). The electromagnetic force acts between charged particles, the gravitational force is very weak on the sub - atomic scale, and the weak nuclear force is involved in processes like beta decay and is weaker than the strong nuclear force at short distances relevant to the nucleus.

Answer:

C. Strong nuclear
