(a) What is the strength of the weak nuclear force relative to the strong nuclear force? (b) What is the strength of the weak nuclear force relative to the electromagnetic force? Since the weak nuclear force acts at only very short distances, such as inside nuclei, where the strong and electromagnetic forces also act, it might seem surprising that we have any knowledge of it at all. We have such knowledge because the weak nuclear force is responsible for beta decay, a type of nuclear decay not explained by other force

Which of the following are true about nuclear force

The nuclear force acts between a neutron and an electron.
The nuclear force strength varies as 1/R, where R is the distancefrom the nucleon.
The nuclear force is essentially zero at distances more than a fewfm.
There are two types of nuclear forces, the strong nuclear force andthe weak nuclear force.
In stable nuclei, the nuclear force is stronger than the coulombicforce.
The nuclear force acts between a proton and an electron.
The nuclear force strength varies as R^-2, the same as thegravitational and the electrical forces.
The nuclear force acts between two protons, between two neutrons,and between a proton and a neutron.

The second step in the proton to proton chain is the reaction(little 2 over little 1) H + (little 1 over little 1) H~ (little 3over little 2) He.

state which nucleons are present in the (little 3 over little 2) Henucleus and use the fact that it is stable to estimate the strengthof the strong nuclear force between nucleons. (hint- compare thestrong nuclear force with any other forces between nucleons. youmay also assume the distance between nucleons is 10^-15 m.

i do not want the answer, however if you feel compelled to give itplease at least tell me how you got there.
