13. State which of the four fundamental forces (gravity, weak, electromagnetic (E&M), strong) are predominantly involved in the following processes:

There are four fundamental forces

Gravitational Force – Weakest force; but infinite range.

It is applicable only to macroscopic bodies.

Weak Nuclear Force – Next weakest; but short range.
Electromagnetic Force – Stronger, with infinite range.
Strong Nuclear Force – Strongest; but short range.

Gravitational force acts on anything with matter, energy and/or momentum. Force is always attractive, and it affects everything in the Universe.
The electromagnetic force acts on any particle with an electric charge. Like charges repel one another, opposite charges attract, and electromagnetic forces are mediated by the photon. It occurs over infinite distances, and is not applicable to neutral objects.
The strong force acts on any particle with a color charge, which are quarks and gluons exclusively. It holds individual quarks together in baryons (like protons or neutrons) and mesons, and binds atomic nuclei together. It operates over short distances only, falling off rapidly for color-neutral bound states.
And the weak force is responsible for radioactive decays. It’s mediated by the W-and-Z bosons, and occurs over incredibly short distances only.
