Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The strong nuclear force is the force that holds the nucleus of an atom together. It is only effective over very short distances (roughly the size of the nucleus), and it rapidly decreases in strength as distance increases. Therefore, it is very sensitive to distance. The strong nuclear force is not influenced by electromagnetic forces or mass, and while it can interact with the weak nuclear force in certain situations, this is not the main factor affecting its sensitivity.
