Gravitational force of one nucleon

In summary, the gravitational force of one nucleon is an attractive force between two nucleons that is calculated using Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation. It is significant for holding together the nucleus of an atom and plays a crucial role in the formation and evolution of celestial bodies. Compared to other fundamental forces, it is the weakest but has a long-range effect on the universe. While it cannot be manipulated or controlled directly, its effects can be observed and utilized through mass and distance manipulation.

It is supposed that the smallest posible black hole has mass of Planck's mass.

But obviously one nucleon (or an electron) also acts with gravitational force.

If we assume that the smallest possible black hole has really Planck's mass, is here any contradiction that nucleon acts with gravitational force?

No, because a nucleon isn't a black hole.
 

FAQ: Gravitational force of one nucleon

What is the definition of gravitational force of one nucleon?

The gravitational force of one nucleon is the attractive force that exists between two nucleons due to their masses and the distance between them. It is a fundamental force of nature that governs the motion of large objects, such as planets and stars, as well as the subatomic particles within an atom.

How is the gravitational force of one nucleon calculated?

The gravitational force of one nucleon is calculated using Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation, which states that the force between two objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. This can be represented by the equation F = G(m1m2)/r^2, where F is the force, G is the gravitational constant, m1 and m2 are the masses of the two nucleons, and r is the distance between them.

What is the significance of the gravitational force of one nucleon?

The gravitational force of one nucleon is significant because it is responsible for holding together the nucleus of an atom, which is made up of protons and neutrons (both types of nucleons). Without this force, the nucleus would not be stable and the atom would fall apart. Additionally, the gravitational force of one nucleon plays a crucial role in the formation and evolution of celestial bodies, such as galaxies and stars.

How does the gravitational force of one nucleon compare to other fundamental forces?

The gravitational force of one nucleon is the weakest of the four fundamental forces of nature, which also include the strong nuclear force, weak nuclear force, and electromagnetic force. This is due to the very small mass of nucleons compared to other particles, such as quarks, which are responsible for the other three forces. However, despite its weakness, the gravitational force of one nucleon has a long-range effect and is responsible for the overall structure and behavior of the universe.

Can the gravitational force of one nucleon be manipulated or controlled?

As a fundamental force, the gravitational force of one nucleon cannot be manipulated or controlled in the same way as other forces, such as the electromagnetic force. However, its effects can be observed and utilized through the manipulation of mass and distance. For example, the gravitational force of one nucleon can be increased by increasing the mass or decreasing the distance between two nucleons, as seen in the formation of black holes where the gravitational force is incredibly strong.
