Question

which list correctly arranges the four fundamental forces in order from weakest to strongest?
a. gravitational force
weak nuclear force
electromagnetic force
strong nuclear force
b. electromagnetic force
gravitational force
strong nuclear force
weak nuclear force
c. strong nuclear force
electromagnetic force
weak nuclear force
gravitational force
d. strong nuclear force
weak nuclear force
electromagnetic force
gravitational force

Explanation:

• Gravitational force is the weakest of the four fundamental forces. It has an infinite range but is extremely weak compared to the others.
• The weak nuclear force is stronger than gravitational force. It is involved in processes like radioactive decay.
• The electromagnetic force is stronger than the weak nuclear force. It acts between charged particles and has an infinite range.
• The strong nuclear force is the strongest. It holds protons and neutrons together in the nucleus of an atom.

Answer:

A. Gravitational force, Weak nuclear force, Electromagnetic force, Strong nuclear force
