What are the fundamental forces in nature?2 |
|
Answer» There are four universal or fundamental forces in nature. Without these forces, all matter in the world will fall apart. Force as such is any pull or push that causes an object to alter its physical state (in terms of motion or deformity). Newton defined a force as anything that causes an object of mass ‘m’ to move with an acceleration ‘a’. A brief overview of the four fundamental forces is given below: 1)Gravitational force - Gravitational force is the force responsible for holding planets in their orbits and this is possible only because of their infinitely long range. 2)Electromagnetic force - These have a long range and the effect of their forces diminishes over distance due to shielding effect. 3)Strong nuclear force - Strong nuclear forces are responsible for holding the nuclei of atoms together. 4)Weak nuclear force - Weak nuclear forces are responsible for the radioactive decay, specifically the beta decay neutrino interactions. |
