The force exerted by a proton on another proton is
The force exerted by a proton on another proton is
Options
- Aweak
- Bgravitational
- Celectromagnetic
- Dnuclear
Correct answer
D. nuclear
Step-by-step solution
A proton has mass, so it exerts a gravitational force on another proton.
A proton is a charged particle, so it exerts an electromagnetic force on another proton.
A proton is a nucleon, so it exerts a strong nuclear force on another proton.
A proton is composed of fermions (quarks), so it also interacts via the weak nuclear force.
Therefore, a proton exerts all four fundamental forces on another proton.
