Color Force

AI Thread Summary

The discussion centers on whether the color force, which binds quarks together, increases in strength as quarks are separated, particularly until they reach a distance of approximately 10^-15 meters. Participants explore the nature of the color force, noting that it behaves differently from other forces, such as electromagnetism, due to its unique properties. It is suggested that the color force becomes stronger with distance, leading to the phenomenon of confinement where quarks cannot exist freely. The inquiry seeks to understand the underlying reasons for this behavior in quantum chromodynamics. Overall, the conversation highlights the complexities of the color force and its implications in particle physics.

Color Force... gets stronger with distance??

Homework Statement

It's not a real problem, more of a question... does the color force get stronger the farther apart the quarks are separated until it reachs about a 10^-15 m distance... adn why is this?

Thread 'I've come across another fluid pressure problem I don't understand'

Neglect gravity other than that of water; neglect friction. F1=ρgsh=1000*10*1*(1+4)=50000 N; F1=ρgsh=1000*10*0.1*4=4000 N; F3=50000-4000=46000 N?

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...

Thread 'Understanding Forces and their Vector Components'

I was told forces are vectors so they can be divided into x and y components, but what about the normal force or the force of static friction? do you divide those into x and y components if say you had a block that was lying on an angled surface?
