Fundamental forces and particles

What is gravitational force?

• The force between charged particles
• The attractive force between any two masses
• The force that binds protons and neutrons in the nucleus
• The force responsible for radioactive decay.

How does gravity compare in strength to the other fundamental forces?

• It is the strongest force but has the shortest range.
• It is the weakest force but has an infinite range.
• It is stronger than the weak nuclear force but weaker than the electromagnetic force.
• It is the strongest force and has an infinite range.

How did Isaac Newton explain gravity?

• As the curvature of space-time caused by mass
• As a force that repels objects with like charges
• As a force that attracts two bodies toward each other
• As a force that only acts on subatomic particles
