And the weak nuclear force is the force that is responsible for the decay of particles, such as the beta decay of a neutron into a proton and an electron. www.lulu.com /items/volume_11/227000/227001/2/preview/introduction-.doc   (3971 words)

Fundamental Physical Forces - Multimedia - MSN Encarta Modern physics has established that four fundamental forces, varying greatly in their strength, are at work behind an everyday scene like this. Although it dominates the universe on the large scale, gravitation is the weakest of the four forces. The light, heat, and other radiations that flood from the sun are produced ultimately by the so-called weak nuclear force, which is a short-range force acting between subatomic particles. uk.encarta.msn.com /media_121635433_761553206_-1_1/Fundamental_Physical_Forces.html   (154 words)

Raid Suleiman The weak force is the force responsible for radioactive decay. The quantum theory explains three of the four forces (the weak, strong, and electro-magnetic forces) by postulating the exchange of tiny packets of energy, called "quanta." When a flashlight is turned on, for example, it emits trillions upon trillion of photons, or the quanta of light. The quantum theory reduces "forces" to the exchange of discrete packet of energy or quanta, while Einstein's theory of gravity, by contrast, explains the cosmic forces holding the galaxies together by postulating the smooth deformation of the fabric of space-time. cfa-www.harvard.edu /~sraid/string.html   (4618 words)

The Fundamental Forces of Nature There are 4 fundamental forces that have been identified. The weak force is responsible for radioactive decay and neutrino interactions. The four fundamental forces all play central roles in making the Universe what it is today, but with respect to the large-scale issues that are of interest to cosmology it is gravitation that is most important. csep10.phys.utk.edu /astr162/lect/cosmology/forces.html   (630 words)

NOVA | Teachers | Elegant Universe, The | Student Handout: Forces of Nature | PBS The graphic shows four areas of matter (labeled 1, 2, 3, and 4) that are governed by the four fundamental forces of nature. Once you have labeled the forces, write next to each force the name of the particle that carries (or is believed to carry) that force between the matter particles it governs. While the electromagnetic force works to repel the positively charged protons in the nucleus of an atom, the strong force is stronger and overrides these effects. www.pbs.org /wgbh/nova/teachers/activities/3012_elegant_09.html   (444 words)

Four Fundamental Interaction The strong force, which we generally call the nuclear force, is actually the force that binds quarks together to form baryons (3 quarks) and mesons (a quark and an anti-quark). The range of the gravitational and electromagnetic forces is infinite, while that of the strong and weak forces is very short. On the other hand, because the exchange particles for the strong and weak forces have a large mass, the force associated with them is zero outside of a short range. www.lbl.gov /abc/wallchart/chapters/04/0.html   (764 words)

Fundamental Particles and Forces Newton's theory was a unification of terrestrial forces with extraterrestrial forces, a recognition that the same force governs both the laws of heaven and the laws of earth. When it was recognized in the 1930's that the nucleus of the atom consisted of protons and neutrons, physicists hypothesized a strong force in the nucleus that acts to bind protons and neutrons together in spite of the great electromagnetic repulsion between the positively charged protons. Finally the weak force was unified with the electromagnetic force, yielding the electroweak theory, and the strong force was explained by quantum chromodynamics, or QCD. www.integralscience.org /particles.html   (973 words)

The fundamental Forces: four or one? - Deccan Herald   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01) Forces are needed to start things moving, to change the way things move and also to stop them from moving. The force is always one of attraction and how much it is, is a factor of the masses and the distance between the objects. Even though the four fundamental forces in the universe have been identified as being distinct and having very different characteristics, there is a strong belief that in very early Universe, when temperatures were very high, the forces existed as a single force. www.deccanherald.com /deccanherald/dec022004/edu10.asp   (809 words)

Coupling Constants for the Fundamental Forces In attributing a relative strength to the four fundamental forces, it has proved useful to quote the strength in terms of a coupling constant. The electromagnetic force is infinite in range and obeys the inverse square law, while the strong force involves the exchange of massive particles and it therefore has a very short range. But the standard model sees the strong force as arising from the forces between the constituent quarks, which is called the color force. hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu /hbase/forces/couple.html   (595 words)

What are the universal forces? They are the strong nuclear force, the electromagnetic force, the weak nuclear force, and the gravitational force. The strong nuclear is the strongest force and gravity is weakest. James Maxwell was able to combine the electrical and the magnetic forces into the electromagnetic force. www.windows.ucar.edu /tour/link=/kids_space/forces.html&INPUT_STRING=Kepler&SEARCH_TYPE=phrase&USER_LEVEL=mid&edu=mid   (142 words)

Force   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01) Commonly experienced as a "push" or "pull," force is a vector quantity, having both magnitude and direction. The study of forces in equilibrium is statics; that of forces and motion is dynamics. The gravitational force and the electromagnetic force have an infinite range. www.neutron.anl.gov /hyper-physics/force.html   (169 words)

Fundamental Forces From the astronomical to the sub-atomic, all physical phenomena of nature are explained by four fundamental forces. Two nuclear forces -- the strong force and the weak force -- dwell within the atomic nucleus. The fundamental force of gravity ranges across the universe at large. www.cco.caltech.edu /~tmu/mu110.htm   (59 words)

The Four Fundamental Forces of Nature There are four fundamental forces within all atoms, that dictate interactions between individual particles, and the large-scale behavior of all matter throughout the Universe. The electromagnetic force controls the behavior of charged particles and plasmas (a plasma is a mixture of equal numbers of positive ions and negative electrons) as, for example, in solar prominences, coronal loops, flares, and other kinds of solar activity. However, because the nuclear forces have such microscopically short ranges, and matter on the large scale tends to be electrically neutral, gravitation is the force that governs the motion of massive bodies such as planets, stars and galaxies. www.geocities.com /angolano/Astronomy/FundamentalForces.html   (1255 words)

The Fundamental Forces Other than weight, all the other forces we encounter in our day-to-day lives can be reduced to the atomic level. Physicists discovered another atomic force while observing a form of radioactivity called beta-decay, wherein a neutron decays into a proton and emits an electron in the process. Force carriers are the transmitters of force information between the sources of forces. www.geocities.com /rideoutphysics/handouts/fundamentalforces.html   (625 words)

The Fundamental Forces & Light   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01) When body A exerts a force on body B, body B exerts an equal and opposite force on body A. Often stated as the Law of Action and Reaction, the Third Law is responsible for Conservation of Momentum and is the Principle that makes Rocket Flight possible. The forces which prevent you from falling through the floor or your chair, the forces that are exerted when you push an object, (friction, etc.) are all examples of the electromagnetic force in action. We now know that the Weak Force is an aspect of a "unified force" called the "Electro-Weak Force" which combines the properties of the Weak Force and the Electromagnetic Force. cassfos02.ucsd.edu /public/tutorial/Forces.html   (1377 words)

EAS Mass is relative to the proton mass and strength relative to the EM force. Gravity is an additive force (all particles have positive mass) and so becomes the dominant force at masses comparable to moons, planets and stars. The ratio of the strong force to the EM force governs the existence of the stable nuclei forming the main elements of the periodic table. www.eas.slu.edu /People/DJCrossley/uniquearth/physics.htm   (519 words)

Four Forces This force is very important, as it keeps the planets, stars and galaxies together; its effect on elementary particles and the structure of the nucleus is negligible. This is the force that binds electron and protons together in atoms and binds atoms and molecules together in ordinary matter. This force can be felt by all particles and when very near eachother it is the force between particles that are not subject to the strong force. homepage.eircom.net /~louiseboylan/Pages/Four_Forces.htm   (302 words)
