Fundamental Forces

What is the relationship between mass and gravitational force?

• Gravitational force decreases with the mass of the objects involved.

• Gravitational force remains constant regardless of mass.

• Gravitational force increases with the mass of the objects involved.

• Gravitational force is independent of mass.

How does distance affect gravitational force?

• Gravitational force increases as the distance between two objects increases.

• Gravitational force remains constant regardless of distance.

• Gravitational force decreases as the distance between two objects increases.

• Gravitational force is only affected by mass, not distance.

What is an example of a force in everyday life?

• Pushing a door open.

• Reading a book.

• Listening to music.

• Watching television.

What is the weak nuclear force?

• A fundamental force responsible for radioactive decay and neutrino interactions.

• A force that holds protons and neutrons together in the nucleus.

• A force that governs the motion of planets and stars.

• A force that is responsible for the attraction between charged particles.

What is the difference between contact and non-contact forces?

• Contact forces require physical interaction, while non-contact forces act at a distance.

• Contact forces can only be observed in liquids, while non-contact forces are only in solids.

• Contact forces are always stronger than non-contact forces.

• Non-contact forces require physical interaction, while contact forces act at a distance.

What is the strong nuclear force?

• The force that holds protons and neutrons together in the nucleus of an atom.

• The force that causes atoms to bond with each other.

• The force that governs the motion of electrons around the nucleus.

• The force that repels protons from each other in the nucleus.

What is the role of gravity in the solar system?

• It keeps planets in orbit around the Sun.

• It causes planets to collide with each other.

• It prevents the Sun from exploding.

• It makes the planets rotate on their axes.

What is electromagnetism?

• A fundamental force that causes the interaction between charged particles.

• A type of energy that can be harnessed for electricity.

• A phenomenon that occurs only in magnetic materials.

• A theory that explains the behavior of light waves.

What is the weakest of the four fundamental forces?

• Electromagnetic Force

• Weak Nuclear Force

• Strong Nuclear Force

• Gravity

How do the fundamental forces interact with matter?

• They govern the behavior of matter at both macroscopic and microscopic levels.

• They only affect matter at the microscopic level.

• They have no effect on matter.

• They only govern the behavior of matter in extreme conditions.
