2 Grade 10 Physics Detailed Notes Dr Vince
Field forces
Electromagnetic force and gravitational force are long-range forces.
Nuclear force is the strongest. Gravitational force is the weakest.
Electromagnetic force is stronger than the weak interaction force.
2. On which factors does the frictional force depend?
The frictional force depends on the smoothness and cleanliness of the surfaces, the force pressing the
two surfaces together and the speed of the body.
3. Which force is greater strength either gravitational force or electromagnetic force?
Electromagnetic force is stronger
