FUNDAMENTAL FORCES

FUNDAMENTAL FORCES

STRONG FORCE

WEAK FORCE

ELECTROMAGNETIC FORCE

GRAVITATIONAL FORCE

It is the STRONGEST of all fundamental forces.

It has the shortest range; particles must be really close.

Its main job is to HOLD TOGETHER THE SUBATOMIC PARTICLES OF THE NUCLEUS.

Is created between nucleons by the exchange of MESONS.

When this MESON exchange happen, the strong force is able to hold nucleons together.

The particle that mediates with force are PIONS and GLUONS.

Keeps the atomic nucleus united.

Can make Physical and Chemical transformation.

It explains how moving and stationary charged particles interact.

It describes how charged particles react to ELECTRIC and MAGNETIC fields.

The particles that mediates with the force are the PHOTONS.

Is a force that attracts any two objects with mass.

It always tries to PULL MASSES TOGETHER.

The particle that mediates with force are the GRAVITONS.

Atoms and molecules force of attraction between two bodies.

Applies to all distances (Micro-Macro)

Applies to all distances (Micro-Macro)

Variables that operate in this force are DISTANCE and MASS.

Variables that operate in this force are DISTANCE and CHARGE.

Disintegration of the atomic nuclear particles.

Acts on tiny distances.

It is in charge of particle decay.

Main Quarks are UP and DOWN.

UP Quark: with positive charge.

DOWN Quark: with negative charge.

When a quark inside a particle changes, that changes the whole identity of the particle.

Weak Force interacts with LEPTONS.

It involves an exchange of particles called FORCE CARRIERS.

CARRIERS convey forces between other particles.

W Boson: can be positive or negative

Z Boson: has no charge
