Describe how the strong nuclear force between two nucleons varies with their separation distance, rrr.
Name the stable hadron found in a hydrogen-1 nucleus and state its quark composition.
Write a decay equation in terms of the quark model for beta-plus (β+\beta^+β+) decay.
The radius of a nucleus is given by
R=r0A1/3 R = r_0 A^{1/3} R=r0A1/3where r0r_0r0 is a constant and AAA is the nucleon number. Assuming the average mass of a single nuclear is mmm, show that the mean density ρ\rhoρ of a nucleus is independent of its nucleon number AAA, and express ρ\rhoρ in terms of mmm and r0r_0r0.
