The Science Quiz seems twice every week within the each day science web page. The web page is obtainable to learn on all days besides Saturday within the epaper.
Questions (solutions on the backside):
1. There are 4 elementary forces of nature: electromagnetic, weak-nuclear, strong-nuclear, and gravitational forces. Which of those is the weakest drive and by what issue of the following weakest drive?
2. The ________ _____ of particle physics is the main idea that describes three of the 4 elementary forces. Fill within the blanks.
3. At a really excessive vitality, the electromagnetic and the weak-nuclear forces unify to change into the electroweak drive. Sheldon Glashow, Steven Weinberg, and X shared the 1979 physics Nobel Prize for explaining this course of. Name X.
4. Protons, neutrons, and electrons make up all atoms (though the hydrogen atom lacks neutrons). Protons and neutrons are in flip fabricated from quarks and gluons. Quarks have two kinds of cost: electrical cost and ______ ______. Fill within the blanks.
5. The Large Hadron Collider is a particle accelerator that helped affirm the existence of a particle known as the Higgs boson in 2012-2013. What kind of accelerator is it? The label is derived from the truth that the magnetic discipline guiding the particles is linked to the particles’ kinetic vitality.
