GRAVITAIONAL FORCE
The force of attraction between all masses
in the universe; especially the attraction of
the earth's mass for bodies near its surface.
FORCE
FORCE
ELECTROMAGNETIC FORCE
The fundamental force that is associated with
electric and magnetic fields and is responsible for
atomic structure, chemical reactions, the attractive
and repulsive forces associated with electrical
charge and magnetism, and all other
electromagnetic phenomena. It is carried by the
photon.
STRONG NUCLEAR FORCE
The theory of the strong force, that is, the force that acts
between quarks, has also been developed. They are
nuclear forces which are repulsive at very short range as
well as being attractive at greater nucleon-nucleon
distances. This keeps the nucleons in the nucleus packed
together but not meshed together. There's no easy way to
describe the theory behind this theory also known as the
Meson theory of nuclear forces.
WEAK NUCLEAR FORCE
The weak force is a short-range force which is responsible
for accounting for beta decay within the nucleus. The role
of the weak interaction seems to be confined to causing
beta decays in nuclei whose neutron/proton ratios are not
appropriate for stability.
