Unit 6 Test

Front

What is the weak nuclear force?

Back

A fundamental force responsible for causing radioactive decay and particle changes in atomic nuclei.

Front

What does the electromagnetic force depend on?

Back

The electric charge of the objects involved.

Front

How does distance affect gravitational force?

Back

Increasing the distance between two objects decreases the gravitational force between them.

Front

What happens to electrical force when charges are moved farther apart?

Back

The electrical force decreases.

Front

What is an example of the weak nuclear force in action?

Back

A radioactive nucleus emitting beta particles.

Front

What is the role of the weak nuclear force in atoms?

Back

It causes processes like beta decay, changing one type of particle into another.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and gravitational force?

Back

The gravitational force increases with the mass of the objects.

Front

What is the formula for gravitational force?

Back

F = G * (m1 * m2) / r^2, where F is the gravitational force, G is the gravitational constant, m1 and m2 are the masses, and r is the distance between their centers.

Front

What is the difference between mass and weight?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force exerted by gravity on that mass.

Front

What is the principle of conservation of charge?

Back

The total electric charge in an isolated system remains constant.
