Answer:
Explanation:
In physics, there are two types of physical quantities namely the fundamental and the derived quantities. Fundamental quantities are independent quantities on which derived quantities depends on. Length, mass and time are examples of fundamental quantities.
The SI unit of length is meters. A meter is a multiple unit. Its submultiple units are centimetres (10⁻²metres), kilometres (10³metres), decimetres (10⁻¹metres) etc
The SI unit of mass is kilogram (kg). The only sub multiple unit used in real-life situation is grams.
1 kg = 100 grams
The SI unit of time is seconds. The multiple units are the minutes, hours, weeks, days and years.
1 minute = 60 seconds
1 hour = 3600 seconds
1 day = 24 * 3600 = 86,400 secs

Answer:
Strong nuclear force is 1-2 order of magnitude larger than the electrostatic force
Explanation:
There are mainly two forces acting between protons and neutrons in the nucleus:
- The electrostatic force, which is the force exerted between charged particles (therefore, it is exerted between protons only, since neutrons are not charged). The magnitude of the force is given by

where k is the Coulomb's constant, q1 and q2 are the charges of the two particles, r is the separation between the particles.
The force is attractive for two opposite charges and repulsive for two same charges: therefore, the electrostatic force between two protons is repulsive.
- The strong nuclear force, which is the force exerted between nucleons. At short distance (such as in the nucleus), it is attractive, therefore neutrons and protons attract each other and this contributes in keeping the whole nucleus together.
At the scale involved in the nucleus, the strong nuclear force (attractive) is 1-2 order of magnitude larger than the electrostatic force (repulsive), therefore the nucleus stays together and does not break apart.
