  2. Free body diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_body_diagram

    In physics and engineering, a free body diagram (FBD; also called a force diagram) [1] is a graphical illustration used to visualize the applied forces, moments, and resulting reactions on a free body in a given condition. It depicts a body or connected bodies with all the applied forces and moments, and reactions, which act on the body (ies).

  3. Nuclear force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_force

    Comparison between the Nuclear Force and the Coulomb Force. a – residual strong force (nuclear force), rapidly decreases to insignificance at distances beyond about 2.5 fm, b – at distances less than ~ 0.7 fm between nucleons centres the nuclear force becomes repulsive, c – coulomb repulsion force between two protons (over 3 fm, force becomes the main), d – equilibrium position for ...

  4. Strong interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strong_interaction

    The colored small double circles inside are gluons. In nuclear physics and particle physics, the strong interaction, also called the strong force or strong nuclear force, is a fundamental interaction that confines quarks into protons, neutrons, and other hadron particles. The strong interaction also binds neutrons and protons to create atomic ...

  5. Weak interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weak_interaction

    e. In nuclear physics and particle physics, the weak interaction, also called the weak force, is one of the four known fundamental interactions, with the others being electromagnetism, the strong interaction, and gravitation. It is the mechanism of interaction between subatomic particles that is responsible for the radioactive decay of atoms ...

  6. 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 ...

  7. Shape of the atomic nucleus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shape_of_the_atomic_nucleus

    Shape of the atomic nucleus. The prolate spheroid shape of the proton and neutron derived from the analysis of the electromagnetic transition from ground to the excited state. [1] The shape of the atomic nucleus depends on the variety of factors related to the size and shape of its nucleon constituents and the nuclear force holding them together.

  8. Non-contact force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-contact_force

    In contrast, a contact force is a force which acts on an object coming physically in contact with it. [1] All four known fundamental interactions are non-contact forces: [2] Gravity, the force of attraction that exists among all bodies that have mass. The force exerted on each body by the other through weight is proportional to the mass of the ...

  9. Yukawa interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yukawa_interaction

    The action. The Yukawa interaction is an interaction between a scalar field (or pseudoscalar field) ϕ and a Dirac field ψ of the type. (scalar) or (pseudoscalar). The action for a meson field interacting with a Dirac baryon field is. where the integration is performed over n dimensions; for typical four-dimensional spacetime n = 4, and.
