H Physics forces test

What are the 4 fundamental forces?

Strong, weak, electromagnetic, gravitational

Fundamental force of nature

An attraction or repulsion between objects described through interactions between fields and particles

Force carriers

The particles each fundamental force is mediated by

What the strong force does

Holds the atomic nucleus together

Hadrons

Subatomic particles (such as protons and neutrons)

Quarks

The type of smaller particles hadrons and made up of

Whats is the strong force’s strength and distance

The strong force is the strongest of the fundamental forces and acts over short distances

Why does the strong force do about protons repelling eachother

It prevents protons from repelling eachother because of their similar positive charge

Gluon

Force carrier for the strong force

What is color

Property of quarks that deals with particle charge when gluons pass from quark to quark, they change their color or charge

Gamma rays and neutrinos

The 2 forms energy is released in when strong force is broken between protons and neutrons

Electrostatic and magnetic

The 2 forms of forced involved in the electromagnetic force

Electrostatic

Interaction between charged particles

Magnetic force

Interaction between magnetic poles

Attract

Opposite Magnetic poles attract or repel

Repel

Like charges or like poles attract or repel

Photon

Massless pocket of light energy that is the Force carrier for the electromagnetic force

light and electricity

Electromagnetic force is responsible for

3 things the weak force is responsible for

Powering stars, the creating elements, nuclear decay of atoms

The weak force is stronger/weaker than gravity and acts across very large/small distances

Stronger, small

How the weak force explains beta decay

Neutron turns into a proton and expels an electron/beta particle

W and Z bosons

The force carrier for the weak force

W boson

+ or -, changes the makeup of particles

Z boson

Electricity is neutral and carries a weak neutral current

When 2 protons collide and fuse the weak force emits____

A positron and a nuetrino (the positive proton becomes neutral)

Weak force converting protons to neutrons releases ____

Radiation

Gravitational force is the strongest/weakest of the fundamental forces

Weakest

Fusion

Gravity can also create pressure and this type of energy in the core of stars
