How does strong force work?

Answer 1

Strong force acts as the glue of all protons inside the nucleus of an atom.

The strong force opposes the electromagnetic force, which repels two same signs, such as two protons (+). On the other hand, the strong force glues protons (+) together.

The strong force, also known as the strong nuclear force, is one of the four fundamental forces of nature. It is responsible for holding together quarks to form protons and neutrons, and for binding protons and neutrons together to form atomic nuclei. The strong force is mediated by particles called gluons, which interact with quarks to transmit the force between them. It operates over extremely short distances, on the order of femtometers (10^-15 meters), and is stronger than the electromagnetic force at these distances. The strong force is described by the theory of quantum chromodynamics (QCD).

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
