Fundamental Forces of the Universe

There are four fundamental forces, or interactions in nature. Strong nuclear Electromagnetic Weak nuclear Gravitational Strongest Weakest

Strong nuclear force Holds the nuclei of atoms together Very strong, but only over very, very, very short distances (within the nucleus of the atom)

Electromagnetic force Causes electric and magnetic effects Like charges repel each other Opposite charges attract each other Interactions between magnets Weaker than the strong nuclear force Acts over a much longer distance range than the strong nuclear force

Weak nuclear force Responsible for nuclear decay Weak and has a very short distance range

Gravitational force Weakest of all fundamental forces, but acts over very long distances Always attractive Acts between any two pieces of matter in the universe Very important in explaining the structure of the universe

Remember… The weak nuclear force is NOT the weakest of the fundamental forces. GRAVITY is the weakest force, but most important in understanding how objects in the universe interact.

Nuclear Reactions There are two kinds of nuclear reactions: Fusion Fission Protons and neutrons are the two most important subatomic particles in the nucleus and participate in these reactions.

Fusion Fusion is the process of combining nuclei of atoms to make different atoms. This reaction is going from SMALL to LARGE particles. Think of fusing two things together.

Fusion Nuclear fusion happens at the sun. One atom of hydrogen-3 and one atom of hydrogen combine to form a helium atom, a neutron and lots of energy!!! hydrogen-3 hydrogen atom helium atom neutron

Fusion Where does the energy come from? Energy is gained when the two hydrogen atoms break apart. Some of this energy is used up to create the helium atom, but the rest is given off as light. Mass is converted to energy! E = mc2 (c = 3.0 X 108 m/s) Since the speed of light is so large even a small mass will be converted to a very large energy.

Fission Fission is the process of breaking up the nucleus of an atom. This reaction is going from LARGE to SMALL particles. Think of breaking two things apart.

Fission Nuclear fission happens on earth. Nuclear fission begins when a neutron hits the nucleus of large atom. Adding this neutron makes the nucleus unstable and it splits into two smaller nuclei and two neutrons.
