Which one of the following statements is correct about the fundamental forces in nature and their applications?
A. The force that arises in most radioactive processes and in nuclear reactions that generate the Sun's energy is the strong nuclear force.
B. The electromagnetic force is the force that keeps protons and neutrons bound together in the nucleus of an atom.
C. The force that keeps the nucleus of an atom from flying apart due to the repulsive force between protons is the weak nuclear force.
D. The gravitational force makes planets revolve around the Sun and follow their orbital path.
Answer (2)
The strong nuclear force is responsible for holding atomic nuclei together and is crucial in nuclear reactions, such as those in the Sun. The gravitational force drives the orbits of planets around the Sun. Other statements regarding the electromagnetic and weak nuclear forces are incorrect in this context. ;
The correct statement about fundamental forces is that the strong nuclear force is responsible for binding atomic nuclei and enabling nuclear reactions like those in the Sun. Additionally, the gravitational force governs the motion of planets around the Sun. Therefore, statements 1 and 4 are correct, while statements 2 and 3 are not.
