  2. Orders of magnitude (force) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(force)

    Maximum force of a molecular motor [8] 10 −11 10 −10 ~160 pN Force to break a typical noncovalent bond [8] 10 −9 nanonewton (nN) ~1.6 nN Force to break a typical covalent bond [8] 10 −8 ~82nN Force on an electron in a hydrogen atom [1] 10 −7 ~200nN Force between two 1 meter long conductors, 1 meter apart by an outdated definition of ...

  3. Fundamental interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_interaction

    The strong interaction, or strong nuclear force, is the most complicated interaction, mainly because of the way it varies with distance. The nuclear force is powerfully attractive between nucleons at distances of about 1 femtometre (fm, or 10 −15 metres), but it rapidly decreases to insignificance at distances beyond about 2.5 fm. At ...

  4. Force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force

    Only four main interactions are known: in order of decreasing strength, they are: strong, electromagnetic, weak, and gravitational. [4]: 2–10 [5]: 79 High-energy particle physics observations made during the 1970s and 1980s confirmed that the weak and electromagnetic forces are expressions of a more fundamental electroweak interaction. [6]

  5. Strong interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strong_interaction

    The strong force is the expression of the gluon interaction with other quark and gluon particles. All quarks and gluons in QCD interact with each other through the strong force. The strength of interaction is parameterized by the strong coupling constant. This strength is modified by the gauge color charge of the particle, a group-theoretical ...

  6. Van der Waals force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_der_Waals_force

    The strength of pairwise van der Waals type interactions is on the order of 12 kJ/mol (120 meV) for low-melting Pb and on the order of 32 kJ/mol (330 meV) for high-melting Pt , which is about one order of magnitude stronger than in Xe due to the presence of a highly polarizable free electron gas. [12]

  7. Intermolecular force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermolecular_force

    The induced dipole forces appear from the induction (also termed polarization), which is the attractive interaction between a permanent multipole on one molecule with an induced (by the former di/multi-pole) 31 on another. [12] [13] [14] This interaction is called the Debye force, named after Peter J. W. Debye.

  8. Coupling constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coupling_constant

    Since the additional particles involved beyond the single force carrier approximation are always virtual, i.e. transient quantum field fluctuations, one understands why the running of a coupling is a genuine quantum and relativistic phenomenon, namely an effect of the high-order Feynman diagrams on the strength of the force.

  9. Strength of materials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strength_of_materials

    Volume, modulus of elasticity, distribution of forces, and yield strength affect the impact strength of a material. In order for a material or object to have a high impact strength, the stresses must be distributed evenly throughout the object. It also must have a large volume with a low modulus of elasticity and a high material yield strength. [7]
