The complete sentence is the following:
<span>" As the size of the nucleus increases, more NEUTRONS are needed to maintain the attractive force. "

In fact, as the size of the nucleus increases and the number of protons increases, the repulsive electrostatic forces between them increase as well (because the protons have the same electric charge, so they repel each other). In order to hold them together, it is necessary to have more neutrons in the nucleus. In fact, the strong nuclear force acts between protons and neutrons holding them together, like a "glue", and preventing the nucleus from breaking apart due to the repulsive electrostatic force of the protons.</span>

If two swimmers compete in a race, does the faster swimmer develop more power?
valkas [14]
Power is equal to energy per unit time. In this case, power is proportional to energy while is inversely proportional to time,on the other hand. Given the two swimmers exerts same amount of energy but the faster swimmer just does things in faster time, then the faster swimmer should develop more power from shorter time
