10. What prevents gravity from pulling you through the ground to the center of Earth? Choose the
best answer.
A. The positive nuclei of your body's atoms repel the positive nuclei of the atoms of the ground.
B. The density of the ground is greater than the density of your body.
C. Atoms are bound together by chemical bonds.
D. Electrons on the ground's surface and the surface of your feet repel one another.
A typical carbon nucleus contains 6 neutrons and 6 protons. The 6 protons are all positively charged and in very close proximity, with separations on the order of 10-15 meters, which should result in an enormous repulsive force. What prevents the nucleus from dismantling itself due to the repulsion of the electric force?
a. The attractive nature of the strong nuclear force overpowers the electric force.
b. The weak nuclear force barely offsets the electric force.
c. Magnetic forces generated by the orbiting electrons create a stable minimum in which the nuclear charged particles reside.
d. The attractive electric force of the surrounding electrons is equal in all directions and cancels out, leaving no net electric force.
1. Which of the following statements about the atomic nucleus
are correct? (There may be more than one correct choice.)
A. It is held together by the strong force that effects protons
and neutrons, but not electrons.
B. It has a typical radius on the order of 10-10 m.
C. Its volume is nearly the same for all atoms.
D. The density of heavy nuclei is considerably greater than
the density of light nuclei.
