Question
Mark the correct statements:
  1. The nuclear force between two protons is always greater than the electromagnetic force between them.
  2. The electromagnetic force between two protons is always greater than the gravitational force between them.
  3. The gravitational force between two protons may be greater than the nuclear force between them.
  4. Electromagnetic force between two protons may be greater than the nuclear force acting between them.

Answer

  1. The electromagnetic force between two protons is always greater than the gravitational force between them.
  2. The gravitational force between two protons may be greater than the nuclear force between them.
  3. Electromagnetic force between two protons may be greater than the nuclear force acting between them.

Explanation:

The electromagnetic force between two protons is always greater than the gravitational force between them, because gravitational force is the weakest force in nature.

We know that nuclear force is the strongest force in nature when the distance between two particles is less than 10-14m. However, the gravitational as well as electromagnetic forces between two protons may be greater than the nuclear force acting between them when the distance between them is more than 10-14m.

A pendulum consists of a bob of mass $m=0.1 kg$ and a massless inextensible string of length $L=1.0 m$. It is suspended from a fixed point at height $H=0.9 m$ above a frictionless horizontal floor. Initially, the bob of the pendulum is lying on the floor at rest vertically below the point of suspension. A horizontal impulse $P=0.2 kg - m / s$ is imparted to the bob at some instant. After the bob slides for some distance, the string becomes taut and the bob lifts off the floor. The magnitude of the angular momentum of the pendulum about the point of suspension just before the bob lifts off is $J kg - m ^2 / s$. The kinetic energy of the pendulum just after the lift-off is $K$ Joules.
