What is the carrier particle of the weak nuclear force? How are the strong nuclear force and the weak nuclear force alike? What bodies does weak nuclear force affect? What are the properties of nuclear forces? What nuclear forces are involved in nuclear power production? What is effective nucl...
By nearly common consent, the uncertainty over the status of nuclear forces in Northeast Asia is said to be the most dangerous feature of Asian-Pacific security. While most attention has been paid to the status of North Korea's nuclear program, too little attention has been paid to the way...
Ordered from strongest to weakest, the forces are 1) the strong nuclear force, 2) the electromagnetic force, 3) the weak nuclear force, and 4) gravity. If you take two protons and hold them very close together, they will exert several forces on each other. What is the new fifth force?
Centripetal and centrifugal forces are two terms used to describe the physics of circular motion — but only one of them is real. The centripetal force keeps an object moving in a circle and is always pointed toward the center of that circle. For instance, the gravitational force of the sun...
The United States first built a nuclear fission reactor in 1942, and used the first fission bombs in 1945. It was in 1952 that the U.S. government tested the first fusion bomb, but fusion reactors, as of May 2011, are still impractical. Despite the diffe
Where does nuclear energy come from? The particles in the nucleus of an atom – protons and neutrons, collectively called nucleons – are held tightly together with extremely strong bonds. The forces in nuclear bonds are a million times stronger than those of electrons. ...
The Bulletin also states that as of 23 February "some of the Russian delivery vehicles that are deployed near Ukraine are considered to be dual-capable, meaning that they can be used to launch either conventional or nuclear weapons".
I cannot explain nuclear forces any further without employing Squish Theory. Usually physicists give informative answers, but sometimes they cannot because there are always gaps in our knowledge of the universe. Unfortunately human pride seems to prevent people from acknowledging their ignorance;...
Though many conventional weapons use chemical reactions to explode, chemical weapons do not depend on explosive force. Chemical weapons generally do not produce a disaster zone as large as that of nuclear weapons, but they are classified as WMDs because of the indiscriminate nature of their ...
