Describe how the strong nuclear force between two nucleons varies the distance between the 2 nucleons.
The strong force between two nucleons is initially repulsive. However at a distance of around 1 fm the force crosses over and becomes repulsive. The strong nuclear force is only seen to act over short distances.

Two current carrying wires are placed next to each other and anti-parallel currents are allowed to flow. Is the magnetic force between the wires attractive or repulsive?
Ignoring air resistance, use an energy argument to find the speed of a ball when it hits the ground if it is dropped from 50m, where m is the mass of the ball.
