Question

Name any two fundamental forces in nature.

Answer 1

Hint: There are four types of fundamental forces in nature. Two of which are observed in the macroscopic world while two of them are observed in the microscopic world.

Complete step by step solution:
The four fundamental forces in nature are
1. Gravitational force
2. Electromagnetic force
3. Strong Nuclear force
4. Weak Nuclear force

Additional information:
The fundamental forces are forces in nature which form the basis of our universe but science hasn’t found the reasons behind those forces yet.

Gravitational force is the force which holds our universe together, it is the force that is responsible for earth’s orbit around the sun, but the exact reason for the force is not yet known.

Electromagnetic force is the force related to charges and its properties. It is the force that holds our earth together, without electromagnetic forces, the electron wont rotate around a nucleus and the bonds between atoms will cease to exist.

Strong nuclear force is the attractive force within a nucleus between proton to proton, proton to neutron or neutron to neutron when they are in contact with each other.

Weak nuclear force is the attractive force within a nucleus between proton to proton, proton to neutron or neutron to neutron when they are not in contact with each other.

Note: Before solving such theoretical questions, the student needs to be able to understand and identify different kinds of forces in nature and how each of these forces of nature are arising due to 4 possible reasons only. These 4 reasons are in turn called 4 fundamental forces of nature.
