How are nuclei held together?
How are nuclei held together?
Use the data for protons in the IB Physics data booklet to calculate the Coulomb repulsion force and gravitational attraction between two protons a distance 10^(−15) m apart, which is about the size of a helium nucleus which contains two protons. Determine the ratio between the Coulomb Force v. Gravitational Force.
