Four Fundamental Forces: What Are They and How Do They Shape Our World?

AI Thread Summary
The four fundamental forces are the strong nuclear force, weak nuclear force, electromagnetic force, and gravitational force. The strong nuclear force binds quarks to form protons and neutrons and holds atomic nuclei together, mediated by gluons. The weak nuclear force is responsible for atomic decay, mediated by W and Z particles. The electromagnetic force governs the attraction and repulsion between charged particles, such as electrons and protons. Lastly, the gravitational force influences the formation of celestial bodies and governs the orbits of planets and moons, as well as natural phenomena like tides.

1-as u might know protons repel from from each other strongly so how are they bonded together is the nucleus well its because of the strong nuclear force which binds quarks together to form protons and neutrons and it binds protons and neutrons together to form the atomic nuclei.its mediated by a particle called gluon.
2-the weak nuclear force is responsible for the decay of atoms and particles and it is mediated by 2 particles z and w.
3- the electromagnetic force is responsible for the repulsion and attraction of charged particles-electrons and protons.
4-the gravitational force is responsible for combining atoms together to form planets stars galaxies , and for the Earth orbiting the sun and moon orbiting the Earth and for the tides...
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
